Crockpot South Of The Border Chicken

Mmmm this smells soooo good!! So it's a really stormy day and I decided that I would just throw together a quick crockpot meal on the fly.  We tend to have a lot of Mexican ingredients around the house since that's my biggest craving this pregnancy ;)

Here's a picture of everything I used, and everything going into the crockpot.

Here are the ingredients:
-4 frozen chicken breasts
-1 bag of frozen mixed vegetables (Mexican style; we found zesty corn and black bean blend from our local Giant Eagle)
-1 (4.5 oz) can of chopped green chiles (do not drain them, you'll need the liquid for cooking)
-2 tablespoons of minced garlic
-2 tablespoons of Cumin
-1/2 jar of Mild Salsa
-Salt and pepper to taste

I'm also making a side of Spanish Rice (Rice-a-Roni).  I'm not a big rice maker.  My husband normally does this.  So I'm hoping it turns out well.  I'm going to adapt the box version to a homemade version next time and I'll let you know how that goes!  This time I just followed the recipe exactly as it was listed.

    
           

Hubby is on his way home! As soon as we have our plates all set to go, I'll get a final picture :) I'm topping my chicken with sour cream and shredded low fat Mexican blend cheese.  Can't wait!


He put his in tortillas and when I went back for seconds, I asked him to wrap my chicken in a tortilla too :) So yummy!

  


If you give this recipe a try, let me know what you think!
