Tips
I use frozen chicken to keep the dish moist. You can use any variety of salsa and spices to your liking; you can also do this in the oven in a shorter amount of time. I just use the slow cooker while I'm at work to have a dinner ready when I get home. I've also used pre-mixed taco seasoning (one pouch) in a pinch.
Directions
Place chicken, 1 c broth and 1 c salsa in slow cooker and cook on low for 6 - 7 hours; use fork to shred chicken up a bit. Add rice, 1 C broth, 1 C salsa, and spices and cook for 30 - 60 minutes more until rice is tender. You can turn it up to high at this point if you'd like to speed it along. Serve with 1/4 of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 Tbsp reduced fat sour cream. Serve alone or with tortilla chips.
