This is a pretty of a salsa based recipe, so if you're not a huge salsa fan, you probably won't care for it as much. We really enjoy salsa though, eat it almost every day on something or other, I think...yeah, we're weird! And we like spicy salsa, but the beauty of this is that you can have it what ever spiciness you like. The other really AWESOME thing about this one is it is basically a dump and cook recipe, which really rocks!!! I love easy to make recipes that have great flavors. Best of all, you can make it and throw it in the freezer for whenever you need a quick and easy meal. The instructions show two ways you can make the recipe. One that allows you to make it right away, and the other so you can throw it in the freezer for later. There's a couple different ways you can do this recipe. As is, which sounds great, or with rice. I read a review where a woman put hers in a crock pot on high for 3.5 hrs and added rice during the last 30 minutes or so, so the rice would soak up all that nummy sauce. Sounded like a great idea to me. I baked mine in the oven, but it still turned out. I had to cook it longer than the suggested time, but it was worth it. We were able to play with the kids while supper was cooking. It's basically a cook in one pot sort of recipe! Even though I used chicken breasts, I had to cook mine for closer to an hour, but I used an 8x8 pan and am not sure how big a deal that was being deeper liquid. I had to guess-timate the amount of rice, so I kind of did the regular ratio of water to rice. I figured if the recipe called for 1.5 cups of salsa, I'd put in 3/4 c. of rice in. I don't use minute rice, so I am not sure how that would work. I covered it up and threw it in the oven. I stirred it a couple of times, just because I didn't know how long it was going to take to cook, so I took it out periodically to check on it. I'm not sure you would have to stir it. You could really smell it when it was ready to come out of the oven.

This was really good, the flavor went throughout the entire piece of chicken, not just the skin. I dumped the bag into my crockpot and cooked on high for about 3 1/2 hours or so - it was just perfect. May I suggest throwing in some rice the last half hour of cooking to go with all that delicous sauce? Thanks for a great OAMC-to-crockpot recipe, Tish!

Amazing, the family loves this. Thank you Trish, it's such a welcome change from the regular baked chicken. I served it with cornbread and cooked carrots as a veggie (carrots were all I had on hand at the time) and a green salad. It all came together beautifully!! Will use this again.
