Crockpot Chicken Burritos

2-3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can red beans, undrained
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1-2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 can San Marcos brand chipotle chilis in adobo sauce
1 tsp. oregano
1-2 tsp. cumin
1 onion, chopped

Put all ingredients in crockpot on low setting, cook 8-10 hours. Pull apart chicken with forks once cooked.

I like to serve these in tortillas, with shredded cheese, fresh guacamole, salsa, and/or refried beans. Just dump beans in bowl, heat in microwave, and sprinkle with cheese.

Apricot Chicken

1/2 packet dry onion soup mix
1 small jar apricot or pineapple-apricot jam
1 cup French dressing
4-6 chicken breasts

Optional: you can add some water if you want it a bit juicier.

Combine and cook in crock-pot on medium for 4-6 hours. Remove chicken and shred with a fork. Replace chicken and heat for another 20-30 minutes. Serve over rice.
