Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 1/2 c converted white rice
1 - 28 oz can diced peeled tomatoes
1 - 6 oz can tomato paste
3 c hot water
2 ( 1.04-oz) package chicken taco seasoning mix
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2 - inch cubes
2 medium onions, chopped
1 green or red bell pepper, chopped , i also added a jumbo jalapeno
2 - 4 oz can diced green chiles
3/4 tsp garlic pepper
salt and pepper

Steps:

1. Gather ingredients:
2. In crock pot, mix together all the ingredients except the chiles and garlic pepper.
3. Cover and cook on low setting 4 to 4 1/2 hours, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is white throughout; do not overcook or the rice will be mushy.
4. Stir in the green chiles and garlic pepper and serve at once. I edited this recipe to include 2 packets of taco seasoning, enchilada sauce, and season to your own preference. I kept tasting as it was cooking, and added Mexican hot chili powder, cumin, and salt. And I cut the rice from 2 cups to 1 1/2 cups..if you like thick, then use 2 cups. The rice will suck up the liquid, so you may want to add chicken broth, more water, enchilada sauce, salsa, or tomato sauce. After more seasoning, it was delicious!

Tips:

Use a slow cooker liner: This will make cleanup a breeze. Simply remove the liner and discard it after cooking.
Brown the chicken before cooking: This will help to develop flavor and give the chicken a nice golden color.
Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the dish. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, corn, and black beans.
Season the dish to taste: Be sure to add plenty of chili powder, cumin, and oregano. You can also add a touch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
Serve with your favorite toppings: Some good options include shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

Conclusion:

Crock-Pot Tex-Mex Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great option for potlucks and parties. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
