Steps:
- Lay chicken breasts on bottom of crock pot.
- Pour everything else over the top and stir (without moving the chicken).
- Cook on low 8-10 hours or high 4-6 hours (I actually cooked it on medium for about 5 hours).
- If you're home, stir once in a while, as the chicken and potatoes soften, to break them up a bit, though it will probably also work to do that when it's all done.

SPICY TOMATO CORN CHOWDER
This is my personal twist on some easy tomato soup recipes I've seen on line. This one is super spicy and savory w/ the addition of hot Rotel (w/ habaneros) and goat milk. If you can't take that much heat, you can use the regular Rotel or any seasoned canned tomatoes. Buttermilk could substitute for the goat milk, but you will...

Tips:
- Prep your vegetables: Dice the onion, celery, and bell pepper into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. Cut the corn kernels off the cob and set aside. Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes instead.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
- Use a good quality chicken broth: This will also help to give your chowder a delicious flavor.
- Add some herbs and spices: This will help to give your chowder even more flavor. Some good options include thyme, oregano, basil, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and oyster crackers.
