Crock Pot Mexican Chicken And Spanish Rice Recipes

CROCKPOT MEXICAN CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• In the base of a 5-quart or larger Crockpot, combine the rice, chicken, onion, chicken broth, salsa, green chiles, and black beans. Stir gently to combine.
• Place the lid on the pot and set the temperature to high. Cook for 4 hours on high or until the rice is tender.
• Remove the lid and stir in the lime juice. Use a ladle to pour the dish into individual bowls. Top each serving with a couple of avocado slices.
• Store any leftovers in a tightly-sealed container for up to 4 days.

SLOW COOKER MEXICAN CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Pour the chicken stock into a slow cooker, and stir in the rice, onion, salsa, green chilies, and half the taco seasoning. Rub the remaining taco seasoning over the chicken breasts, and place into the cooker. Place the lid on the cooker, and set to high setting.
• Cook until the rice is thickened and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 3 hours. About 20 minutes before serving time, turn the cooker to warm setting. Remove the chicken breasts, and slice them. Stir the chicken and the black beans into the slow cooker. Return lid to cooker, allow the beans to heat, and serve.

CROCK POT MEXICAN CHICKEN AND SPANISH RICE

Steps:

• Place chicken in to crock pot. Mix water, taco seasoning, and salsa (I use half the jar) together. Pour onto chicken. Set crock pot to low and let it cook for 3 to 4 hours.
• After chicken is done remove and put rice in leftover liquid. While rice is cooking shredded or slice chicken.
• Once rice is done (about 10 to 20, depending on how cooked you like your rice) mix chicken in or serve as taco or make enchiladas with the chicken.

CHEESY MEXICAN CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• In crock-pot, combine first three ingredients, add salt to taste, cover, and cook on high until chicken breasts are tender, about 2 hours.
• Add instant rice, making sure all grains are moist. Cook on low 5-15 minutes.
• Mix in cheese, leave in crock-pot until melted.
• Serve chicken and rice separately or together.
• Suggestion from Homemade Gourmet: Slice leftover chicken breasts into strips and sauté briefly in a hot skillet. Serve on flour tortillas with desired toppings for quick and delicious chicken fajitas.
