New Recipe from Amy!

So, my friend Amy tonight told me of a new recipe that sounds really delicious...
take a package of Chicken Breasts (2-3 skinless, boneless), 1 jar of Salsa, and 1 drained can of black beans and place in slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours.
After cooking, shred chicken and return to slow cooker. Add 1 can of corn (I plan on using frozen, but rinsed so that it does not lower the temp of the slow cooker too much!) and 1 package of cream cheese. Cook in slow cooker until cream cheese is melted. Serve over rice.

**AMENDMENT! Last night, Amy made this in a slightly different manner-- she did everything EXCEPT skipped the cream cheese- so the chicken was more saucy-- and then we ate it in tortillas with cheese and plain yogurt- it was AMAZING!! Much better even than the original!**

I went to the store right away to buy the ingredients for this one-- here is the cost for the entire dish:

Chicken (3 breasts): $5.35 (on sale! Yea!)
Salsa: $2.00
Black Beans: $1.29
Corn: $1.50 (full package was $2.99, and I don't think I will even use half!)
Cream Cheese: $1.69
Rice: $1.25 (full package was $2.49, won't even use half)

Total for entire recipe: $13.08
So, now... how many servings can I get out of it?! I will keep you posted!
