CROCK POT MEXICAN CHICKEN AND SPANISH RICE
My husband was out of town and I wanted mexican food. So I decided to experiment. I have made this several times since and it has been a big hit with everyone. I have sherred or sliced the chicken and mixed with the rice. The chicken is also good as chicken tacos. I just recently used the chicken to make enchiladas and served the rice on the side. I have plans to try this same recipe with beef.

CROCK-POT CHEESY MEXICAN CHICKEN AND RICE
A delicious combination of cheese, chicken, salsa and rice. I created this recipe when I needed to make dinner in the crockpot because my husband was redoing the floors in the kitchen and I had no stove to use. Thanks to him a new chicken recipe was born. I use my homemade canned salsa but any salsa will do. Also, we mostly eat chicken breast, but you can use any type of chicken. The cooking time will need adjusted longer for dark meat or chicken on the bone. There are several variations for this recipe such as adding beans, corn, mushrooms, etc. The possibilities are endless.
