Crock Pot Sante Fe Chicken

July 2009 003 This is a winner! Both the sous chef and I were loving this recipe, and we thank Gina for her recipe. As you might recall, Gina's blog is all about Weight Watchers recipes, so it was nice to have a healthy yet filling meal when I made this.
July 2009 002 The chicken is very flavorful, the vegetables and bean add a freshness, and topping this chicken on Chipotle's Rice makes the dish heaven! July 2009 004 For the finishing touch, top the rice and chicken with some shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, a dollop of fat free sour cream, and devour.July 2009 005 This is one of our top rated dishes, for sure. See my link to Gina's recipe for this fabulous dish above as well as the link to the rice that I made to accompany the chicken.
