  2. About to put this recipe in the cooker. It would be well paired with the Southwestern Black Bean Salad from skinnytaste.com

  10. How could I make this if I don't have a crock pot? Could a regular big pot and cover work?

  13. Would I be able to do this for only 3 or 5 hours in the slow cooker on high?

  14. ^If it's on high, I would think it'd be okay. Maybe thaw the chicken first for peace of mind! :) Enjoy!

  19. I made this for my family of 8 tonight. I left the chicken in for a little longer so it was extremely tender and juicy. I made plain white rice, put my chicken on top then put crushed up tortilla chips on top. It was very spicy but good. Not the best, but still good. My 3 year old niece was in lover with it and ate 3 plates. My 16 year old sister wouldn't even touch it because of the chunks from the salsa and the peppers. Everyone else said it was good.
