Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 c converted white rice
1 - 28 oz can diced peeled tomatoes
1 - 6 oz can tomato paste
3 c hot water
2 ( 1.04-oz) package chicken taco seasoning mix
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2 - inch cubes
2 medium onions, chopped
1 green or red bell pepper, chopped , i also added a jumbo jalapeno
2 - 4 oz can diced green chiles
3/4 tsp garlic pepper
salt and pepper

Steps:

1. Gather ingredients:
2. In crock pot, mix together all the ingredients except the chiles and garlic pepper.
3. Cover and cook on low setting 4 to 4 1/2 hours, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is white throughout; do not overcook or the rice will be mushy.
4. Stir in the green chiles and garlic pepper and serve at once. I edited this recipe to include 2 packets of taco seasoning, enchilada sauce, and season to your own preference. I kept tasting as it was cooking, and added Mexican hot chili powder, cumin, and salt. And I cut the rice from 2 cups to 1 1/2 cups..if you like thick, then use 2 cups. The rice will suck up the liquid, so you may want to add chicken broth, more water, enchilada sauce, salsa, or tomato sauce. After more seasoning, it was delicious!
