Southwestern Crock Pot Chicken

I made this dish with the expectation that it would be just ok. Like a 6 or 7 out of 10. I was greatly surprised at how flavorful and filling this dish was. I rate it a 10. I will definitely make it again. This would be a great dinner option with enough left over to freeze for another meal or left overs the next day. Let your crock pot make you dinner for a change. Put everything in it except the rice and let it cook all day while you are doing something else!
