This is a very easy recipe, and the only healthy meal I cook so far that my junk-loving fiance will request after a long absence. I found it on the food network while searching for new ideas.

CHICKEN CALIENTE - CROCK POT

Chicken Caliente - Crock Pot image

Medium - mild spicy chicken Dish. Really quick and easy to make. I got this from a coworker but had to work out the portions for myself. Took 3 tries, but I got it. I use prepackaged Shredded Cheese and Frozen Vegetables. To change serving size: use more or less chicken. All other ingredients remain the same. To decrease or increase spicy: use more or less cheese.
