I first enjoyed a version of this in a little restaurant in Cozumel on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The combination of salsa and cinnamon gives a zesty tropical taste to everyday chicken! If you can find the currants, they give a special complex flavor to the dish.

Terrific flavor...don't leave out the nuts or the currants (raisins will work). They really give this dish depth in flavor and a wonderful burst of textures in your mouth. I doubled the recipe, but just used 2 cups of Herdez Medium Salsa (was afraid of too much liquid in the crock). Perfect spiciness for my family. Served with black beans, rice, mango slices and warm corn tortillas--took me back to my honeymoon in Cozumel!

Absolutely fantastic... easy to make but extremely impressive. My family love this, and my father in law said even he liked it (and that's saying a lot as he never comments on dinners). Thank you for sharing this, I've made it several times now and its definitely a favorite!

Good taste, but I had trouble with the cooking instructions. I expected it to fill my crockpot more, but when all was ready it didn't look like much in my 6qt. crockpot. I made the full recipe and I think that it really only serves about 4. I served it over rice. Also I cooked it 2 hours on high (because of time constraints) and 3 hours on low, and the chicken was too dry. I may try again, with the necessary adjustments.

Very interesting dish, Auntie Mags! I have to admit that I had a few adjustments to make. When I got home I found that I didn't have any salsa.....so I made my own. Also found that I had almonds but not sliced so I had to cut the whole almond in half. As I wanted to make this for supper, the crockpot idea was out...so I let everything simmer for about an hour in the frying pan. All of this worked very well. Served it over wild rice. Hubby gobbled up a huge plateful and I managed to wolf down a fair bit too! I'll make this one again as I love the nuts, raisons (no currents) cinnamon and salsa combinations ! Great Work ! Thanks again !
