Crock-Pot Spicy Chicken and Rice

Crock-Pot Spicy Chicken and Rice will feed a crowed and have them asking for the recipe. You can easily amp up the spice if you like spicy food.

Crock Pot Spicy Chicken is a perfectly seasoned southwest taco bowl. This no fuss recipe can be tossed together and turned on in the morning for the perfect Tuesday taco night. I find this dish craveable. 

If you like foods spicy add a jalapeno or medium diced tomatoes and green chilies instead of mild diced tomatoes and green chilies. I have also added cayenne pepper as well as red pepper flakes for a zing. Andrew will add hot sauce if I have not spiced it up enough. 

The leftovers can easily be transformed into burritos, quesadillas or nachos.
