Cilantro Lime Chicken

I've really been liking this dish lately, and the best part is you dump it all the crock pot and leave it for 4 hours and its good to go! Minus the rice, again just a dump and go item.
I've really been trying to eat better lately, minus the chocolate covered peanuts sitting next to me. But hey, we all need a treat every now and then. But this dish is super easy, low calorie and low fat! I found the recipe on Pintrest but didn't love it the way its suppose to be made so here is my take on it.

2 cans black beans (drained)
16 oz frozen corn (thawed)
1/2 large onion
6-8 cloves minced garlic
1/2 bunch cilantro, give or take depending on taste
1-2 tsp cumin
1 - 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1-2 tsp Mexican spice rub blend
S&P TT
2 lbs boneless chicken (I used thighs)
Top with fresh lime juice
Serve over rice

The original recipe said to juice 2 whole limes into the crockpot but the lime was way to much and had an off flavor so I prefer to use it as a finishing touch. It also said it use chicken breast but I like boneless thighs because they are perfect serving size.

Enjoy!
