This was awesome, my family went back for 2nd's!!! I used 2 rotel tomatoes and green chiles(10 ozs cans) I also added about 1 1/2 cups of instant rice about 1 hr before the chicken was done, and it made a great cheesy-chicken and rice dish!!!!

Muy bien, Lorac!! This recipe stands on its own. My family was s dissappointed that there were no seconds. I didn't brown my chicken because with crockpot cooking it isn't necessary. I did defrost it a little bit but it is always good to use frozen chicken when using your crockpot so the chicken won't dry out. You could easily add more chicken breast to this recipe without any problem.It has the right kick to it. I didn't have Rotel tomatoes so I used what I had on hand which was diced tomatoes with green chilies. Next time, I will add my rice to the sauce like one review stated. There is enough broth for the rice to soak up. I also will try using Mexican cheese as also stated in another review. This would be a great recipe to serve to your quests. I served it over white rice with mixed vegetables as my side dish. To end the meal, I made Creamsicle Cake #38569. It complemented the meal perfectly.

This was AWESOME! Not overly cheesy, and with just enough bite from the chilies in the Rotel. I may try it next time with the "hot" version of Rotel, since my husband LOVES hot & spicy. I didn't brown the chicken, just threw it in the crockpot still frozen, but it didn't change the fabulous taste; the chicken was extremely moist & tender. (I cooked on high for 6 hrs.) Ended up serving over fettucine noodles; the leftovers (yes, there were leftovers!) are in the fridge for my lunch tomorrow! I'm sure we'll be making this one again and again here in my house.

This was wonderful Lorac. Very cheesy and just enough spiciness but not overpowering to the dish. I served this with rice and green salad. Very easy and another crock-pot winner. Thanks so much.

Great dish. I used 4 chicken breasts and realized 1/2 through cooking I forgot the onion and chili powder so I used dried onion and also added about 1 1/2 cups instant rice- great addition and adds to the ease. We served it with black beans. YUM! We buy 4oz breasts so I put them in the crockpot frozen, cooked them for 1 1/2 hrs on high and then 2 hours on low. (Hate dried out chicken) This will be made often. Thanks for a crockpot quick and easy and tasty recipe.

My husband and I both enjoyed this very much...I added two cups of instant rice in the last hour of cooking, and it turned out just great! (It also helped me clean out my freezer!) I'm looking forward to making this one again.

When I saw the list of ingredients and who the chef was I knew this recipe would be superb. I was not disappointed. I urge everyone to try Lorac's recipes as they are awesome. The chicken was very moist and perfectly seasoned. I used an equal amount of Tex-Mex shredded cheese as that is what I had on hand-otherwise I didn't change a thing. I served this with roasted garlic mashed potatoes to sop up the wonderful sauce. Will definately make again. Keep those recipes coming Lorac!

A yummy crockpot dish. I cooked 4 chicken breasts on high for 6 hours(I did not brown them) and they fell apart with a fork. I did add some cumin and garlic powder to give it more flavor. We put on soft taco shell with lettuce, tomato etc. Also poured over nacho chips. Thought it was great quick meal.

Great easy family dish! I didn't brown chicken. I used 6 chicken breasts and 6 boneless skinless thighs. Didn't double sauce ingredients- still had lots of sauce. I used 2 cans milder rotel. Cooked 5 hours on low (my crockpot runs hot), added 1 tblesp. cornstarch to slightly thicken; cooked 30 minutes more. Tasted and added a bit more salt. Served on rice. Yummm... Family pronounced dish a repeater! Thank you, I am always on the look out for great crockpot recipes.

This was a great, very easy meal! I cut up the chicken breast, and did not brown ahead of time, and still only needed to cook on low in my crockpot for about 4 hours, although probably even less because the chicken was a little dry. I did not have enough cheddar cheese to shred, so I also threw in a bit of velveeta. I also added frozen corn. Yum! I thought it would be too much Rotel, but two cans was perfect. Thanks!
