Expert Tips

Use plain white rice for a milder meal.

If you want a hotter dish, leave the seeds in the chipotle chiles.

Stirring in the tomato at the end gives this dish a fresh taste.

Overall this was a good recipe but I thought it needed a little more seasoning so I added my own. Also, I used chicken breasts but it would probably be better with thighs, as most things are in the crock pot.

I used chicken breasts on low for 8 hours and followed the directions exactly otherwise. The meat was tender and everyone loved it.

Delicious! Just used ingredients I already had on hand so I used chicken tenders and a can of hot chiles which made it extra spicy. I also used the liquid from the pinto bean because I was afraid the chicken would dry out and it turned on great.

This is a great slow cooker dinner. The only thing is next time I will use chicken breast. Some of thighs didn't hold together well. We also had corn tortillas with it.. Will become a regular dinner in our busy house.
