1 (16 ounce) can chili beans
1 (15 ounce) can black beans
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 carrot, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

1 ½ tablespoons taco seasoning, reduced sodium
3 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Place onion, chili beans, black beans, chopped carrot, corn, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and beer in a slow cooker. Add taco seasoning and stir to blend. Lay chicken breasts on top of mixture, pressing down slightly until just covered by other ingredients. Cover and cook on Low for 5 hours.
