FIESTA CHICKEN WITH BARLEY AND BROWN RICE (CROCK POT)
I came up with this when I couldn't decide between chicken cacciatore or something more Tex-Mex. I also wanted a "real" meal without having to work too hard at it. We really enjoyed this. Other cuts of chicken can be used, although I recommend staying away from boneless skinless breasts because I think they tend to dry out in a slow cooker. Since every one's crock pots heat differently and grains can be tricky to cook in a CP, you may have to fool a little bit with the timing on the rice and barley. You could also make that separately and just add it in at serving time. Cooked the way I did it, it almost had a risotto-like texture to it.

Steps:
- Sprinkle chicken with pepper and lightly brown in a large nonstick skillet, 5 minutes on each side.
- Place onion, chipotle pepper, and garlic in the crock pot, followed by the chicken.
- Pour tomato juice over the chicken.
- Sprinkle chicken with cumin, chili powder, and more black pepper.
- Pour canned tomatoes & green chilis over chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
- Remove chicken, and stir uncooked rice and barley into the slow cooker (check the dryness at this time, too, and add some water or other liquid in if you need to).
- Place chicken back on top and continue to cook on low for 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 more hours until grains are tender but not overdone.
- Serve with cheese and sour cream, if desired.
CROCK POT CREAMY MEXICAN CHICKEN (AKA FIESTA CHICKEN)
Creamy chicken dish that you can spice up to suit your taste. Basically, it's slow cooker chicken with cream cheese & any other ingredients you like. This recipe is our favorite combination and has a mexican flair. Plus, using the crock pot makes this dish simple & fills the whole house with a nice aroma. We like it best served over cooked egg noodles or rice. I gave this recipe to my cousin & she serves it by adding spoonfuls of it to pre-made taco shells. (Note: sometimes instead of onion & red bell pepper I just add 1-1 1/2 cups of frozen bell pepper/onion from the bag in the freezer secion)

FIESTA CHICKEN SOUP - CROCK POT
A slightly spicy recipe that I created quite by mistake. I was making another recipe when I realized I had added too much tomato juice and didn't have enough beans to complete it. A few other changes and there you go.

CHICKEN FIESTA IN CROCK POT
My youngest grandson who I call Dink, is extremely picky, likes nothing spicy until he tried this. Dink absolutely loves this chicken and the rice I serve it with which something I throw together and call roasted garlic basmati. He now requests this each birthday.

Steps:
- 1. Dip chicken into melted butter then roll in the dip mix, and set aside. Once all done. Pour the remaining butter into the bottom of the crockpot. Layer the chicken breasts into crock. Then Pour over the two cans of soup. Lastly sprinkle the remaining dip mix over all. Put lid on and cook on high 3-4 hours or on low 6-7 hours till chicken is tender.
- 2. I serve this with a roasted garlic basmati rice and broccoli. I also add a small amount of sliced sauteed mushrooms in to the pot for the mushroom lovers.
Tips:
- For a thicker sauce, use a cornstarch or flour slurry. Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or flour to 1/4 cup of cold water and whisk until smooth. Stir the slurry into the crock pot 30 minutes before the end of cooking time.
- If you like your chicken with a crispy skin, broil it for a few minutes before serving.
- To make the chicken even more flavorful, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables.
- Leftover chicken can be used in tacos, burritos, or enchiladas.
