Black Bean Chicken Baked Potatoes- Oct. SRC
Wow has a month seriously already passed since the last Secret Recipe Club reveal day?! I guess time flies when you’re having fun right? Between school, work and a trip to Italy, I somehow managed to still get my recipe made for this month’s Secret Recipe Club. I can also say that I am very happy I did because I found so many good recipes on my assigned blog this month, Angela’s Kitchen.
Angela over at Angela’s Kitchen has so many delicious recipes on her blog. Also, they are all gluten, wheat and dairy free. There is also a special selection tool for those of you with specific dietary needs! Her blog is great if you have any allergies or are trying to eat healthy. I was tempted to choose her Secret Recipe Club post for Squash & Kale Pizza to re-make, but I figured that I should find one of her original recipes instead. After trying to pick between her Roasted Fish with Potatoes, Tomatoes & Olives, the pizza or her Black Bean Salsa Chicken I decided to go for the chicken, but I have to admit I ended up making her fish a few days later, just forgot to photograph it!
This recipe is great for a busy day. I put everything into the crock pot, headed to school, then finished the dinner after I got home. I added green chiles and Sriracha to add some spice to the recipe, as well as some extra garlic and salsa. I took Angela’s advice to serve this over a baked potato. Being the cheese lover that I am, I couldn’t resist adding cheese to the potato. I also topped it off with some guacamole; remember my delicious Avocado Whipped Potatoes?

What a great, hearty meal. I love baked potatoes with toppings.
I love everything that is in the chicken topping. Oh, just thinking about how good your kitchen would smell at the end of the day makes me hungry!
Looks fantastic! Great choice for SRC!
The year is just flying by isn’t it! That baked potato is something I would try once am back from my trip. I would love that on a cold cozy day 🙂

Dang! That’s my kind of potato! Seriously – its packed and dripping with amazingness. This would be the only way I could serve potatoes as a whole meal and not have Handsome question my sanity.
Yum! Looks great! Fun to participate in SRC with you!

Now THAT’s a loaded potato 🙂 A whole meat in itself! How did you get the light blue colored background which you display your recipe on? I love that it’s on a different color backdrop with the dotted lines surrounding it… it distinguishes it from the rest of the post… how did you do that?!
