My husband enjoyed this recipe, but my daughters and I didn't. I thought the rice was too mushy. It also was too much rice for us. It needed a bit more spice for me.

We really enjoyed this Audrey! My daughter took it to work for her lunch 3 days in a row! LOL Followed the recipe with only 1 alteration , and that was to substitute a red pepper for the green. Oh wait , 2 alterations. I left out the green chilies , to me that says hot ... LOL ... I could really taste the tomato paste , I might cut that in half next time , but other than that , it was a great , easy meal , and one that travels well to work!! Thanks so much for sharing! :)

I really liked this. My husband didn't, but he hates chicken. I omitted the green peppers. I added a can of Rotel original tomatoes instead of the plain, a small can of green chiles and about 1 T. garlic powder. I also slow cooked it on the stove top instead of the crockpot. I added everything together, chicken, onions, tomatoes, etc., and covered over low heat for about an hour. Right before I served it, I added the cooked rice. I served it with mexican cheese and sour cream - I loved it!
