This looks very delicious, and I'm eager to try it. Thanks for sharing!
SO glad I found you!Officially 'like' both you & shabby apple on Facebook (would like to love your page!), also following you on Pintrest….Loving the sound of so many of your recipes – can't wait to try them!
This is great! I tried it out and wrote a post about it today. Thanks for sharing.
Do you just lay the chicken on top raw? Does it cook okay?
Made this last night and we loved it! Served it over brown rice to make it heart healthy. Will definately be keeping this one as one of my favorites!
Will be making this soon, looks great!
Found you through Pinterest. Made this this week. It was great! Thanks!
Do you drain the canned vegetables? Or pour the entire can in?
Made this tonight over white rice and it was good. I drained the beans and the tomatoes a little. We didn't have any cayenne pepper so I left that out but it was spicy enough for us without it. Thanks for posting it!
This is in the crockpot now! Can't wait until it is ready!!
Great recipe! I am such a huge fan (and user) of the crock pot and even better, healthy meals in the crock pot that make tons of leftovers! Looks tastey!
This looks like a great recipe. Love using the crock pot for "set it and forget it" meals.
Eating this right now and it is so DEE-LISH! I actually stopped the cooking of my chicken only 4 hours into it (had crock pot on high) because I've experience very dry chicken when it cooks so long. Anyhow…love love this and will certainly make again! Can't wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow – will probably taste even better!
I saw this on Pinterest, I made it for dinner tonight and it was a huge hit! Thank you!
Hi Nikki! I just wanted to let you know that I tried this recipe! I saw this pic on Pinterest, and it linked to your blog! I tried the recipe and blogged about it, but I wanted to let you know I used your pretty picture and I linked it back to your blog, I just made a few recipe changes to it. I basically chipotle"izded" it. Not very weight watchers friendly, but still pretty good. :) You can check it out here: http://www.mommyonlyhas2hands.org/2012/02/santa-fe-chicken-chipotle-ized.html
I just noticed you posted my recipe, I'm glad you liked it!
Calorie count?
just got it together in the crock pot. hopefully it comes out good, fingers crossed. sounds really good.
Mine was pretty runny. Any suggestions?
Do I drain the beans and rotel?
I made this last night. I liked the taste but, the mixture was very watery. More like a soup. Mine looked nothing like your beautiful picture. Also, did you cook the scallions and cilantro with the chicken or put it on after as a garnish?
I am attempting this recipe now, but my slow cooker just died!! I have dumped everything into a pot on the stove with the chicken on top. I have set the stove to low and am hoping it turns out just as good. Wish me luck!
I made this tonight and it's super runny. Do you drain it before putting it on the rice?
I've made this several times since we found your recipe, my husband and I both love it. Even with draining the beans and using less water in my broth (I use better than bouillon), it's still been a little runny so I remove some of the 'juice' before adding the chicken back in
Tried this this week. Sooooooo good! Will make it again and for friends. Good enough to serve company, with a salad and biscuts, Yum!!!
Made this last night and it is delish! Drained all of the liquid out after it cooked all night and added some avocado and hot sauce for taste.
Do you think you could freeze this ahead of time and then make it whenever you want? Would all the ingredients freeze well? Thanks!
Does the chicken turn out dry? I have that the worst luck with keeping chicken most when cooking in the crockpot (despite how much I reduce the cooking time!)
Absolutely making this recipe this for a weeknight dinner this week!! Thank you for sharing!
I'm going to try this tomorrow, thank you!
