Freezer Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup

A friend of mine asked me to post the crock-pot meals that I have made and tried.  This one is another keeper.  Last month I made up a bunch of freezer meals and have been trying them a little at a time.  Most of them are meals that I have never tried before.  All of them are crock-pot meals that can be made fresh or frozen for a later day.

Crock-pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breast
1 - 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes
(not drained)
1 - 14.5 oz. can black beans (drained)
1 small onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cup frozen corn
1 jalapeno, finely chopped
2 limes, juiced or 2 tablespoons lime juice
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
(I used dried)
4 cups of chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste
Sriracha sauce to taste - about 2 tablespoons

Directions:
Label a gallon size freezer bag.  I wrote the cooking time and to add 4 cups of broth on the bag as well.  This just makes it easier when it comes time to cook it.
Place all ingredients (except broth) in the freezer bag, seal tightly, and place in freezer.  When you are ready to cook it, take it out the night before so that it can thaw.  Mine didn't completely thaw but was pretty close.  Cook on low for about 4 hours.  Serve with tortilla chips.  I used tortilla scoops.  It was delicious!!!

This recipe has a little kick to it so if you can't have spicy foods, skip the jalapeno pepper.  It wasn't really that spicy though...
