From the grocery store

about 1.5 lb boneless chicken thighs (breasts work; thighs forgive). Any store, on the way home. Not in the cart button; we do not sell chicken.

From your kitchen

a crockpot, two forks, salt.

What to do

  1. Chicken in the crockpot. Salsa over it, packet over that, tomatoes and chilies on top, juice and all. Do not stir. It does not care.
  2. Lid on. Low for 6 hours, or high for 3. Leave the house if you like.
  3. Shred the chicken in the pot with two forks. It falls apart; that is the thighs doing their job. Stir in the drained beans and corn and give it 15 more minutes.
  4. Rice in the microwave, 90 seconds. Chicken on the rice. Tomorrow it goes in a tortilla and nobody has to know it is the same dinner.
