One Skillet Mexican Chicken

Little Everyday Things's Note:

This is my family's go-to meal when we want something quick and delicious. The best part of all is there is only one pan to clean. We use La Victoria Hot Salsa, but any salsa works great. You can eat this dish alone or put it in tortillas for burritos.

This was soooo easy and so good. I threw it all in the crock pot on high and it was all done in about one hour. I did have to add a little extra liquid though. I also used a 28 oz. can of beans because that is what I had on hand. We served it just in a bowl and at it with tortilla chips. I will definably make this again. Reviewed for My-3-Chefs 2009.
