Val, so glad to hear you enjoyed it. I love the idea of salsa verde in this.
This was fabulous! Hubby and I both thought it tasted very similar to Chipotle's burrito bowl.
I did make some minor changes to adjust for timing and allergies. I made it with chicken thighs instead of breasts (I knew I wouldn't be taking it out at the 5 hour mark, and thighs seem to be more forgiving of a longer cook time). My hubby is allergic to tomatoes, so I used Goya salsa verde in place of the Ro-tel.
I used Trader Joe's brown rice, red rice and barley blend from the freezer, and served with guac and monterey jack. So good!
Anne I love my slow cookers! And I have quite a few. I'm chuckling because I've heard of adapting recipes for the slow cooker but I don't think I've ever heard of adapting them to NOT use the slow cooker!
I have to say that I like the idea of a slow cooker but don't know if I would use one all that often. Love the recipe so have book marked it and might adapt it.
Regards
Anne
Lydia, you're definite NOT the last person to discover that. I love this type of dish that's good all year round.
Thanks so much for featuring this recipe. It was a hit the very first time I tried it, and I've made it many times since. The slow cooker is my new favorite tool for keeping my kitchen cool in warmer weather. I feel like I'm the last person to discover that!
