Recipe Tips
This recipe is a great way to get a healthy and delicious dinner on the table in no time. For an even easier meal, you can skip the step of pre-cooking the chicken and just add it to the crock pot raw. It will cook through in the same amount of time.
You can also add more liquid to this recipe if you want a more soup-like consistency. Just add additional water or chicken broth to the crock pot before cooking.
This recipe is also great for meal prep. Just make a big batch and store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
If you want to switch up the flavors, try adding a can of diced green chilies and a teaspoon of cumin for a Mexican-inspired version. You can also add a can of coconut milk and some curry powder for an Indian-inspired version.
This recipe is also an excellent way to use up any leftover cooked chicken you may have. Just shred the chicken and add it to the crock pot along with the other ingredients.
