Healthy Living: Puerto Rican Chicken and Beans

This was 2 recipes that I combined into one, to save time and energy.

4-5 chicken breasts
1 can (Goya) pidgeon peas - drained
1 can (Goya) pink beans - drained
1 can red kidney beans - drained
1 packet goya sazon (the orange and yellow box)
4 tbsp Goya Sofrito
4 tbsp Goya Recaito
3 tbsp Goya Adobo Seasoning
2 tbsp Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb (it's important that you use a garlic and herb seasoning with no salt!)
2 small cans of no salt added tomato sauce
1 box or large can of reduced salt chicken broth

Add all of the above to the crock pot. If the liquid does not cover the chicken, add water until the chicken is just barely covered. Turn crockpot on low for 8 hours or high for 4. Serve with brown rice.

***It's important that you use reduced or no salt added ingredients when possible. The Goya ingredients tend to be very salty and are easily overwhelming. The Goya ingredients can all be found in the mexican/international foods aisle at Safeway and Food Lion.
