Today was another one of those days where I needed to have something ready for dinner with little fuss. I threw this in the crock pot in the morning and when I got home I only had to add the rice for the last 30 minutes of cooking. This was absolutely amazing and so easy. This not only made my life a little easier, but it was so delicious! I need more dishes like this to simplify my life so I don’t have to fuss so much over dinner all the time.
I think we can all agree that like can get crazy and a crock pot can be a life saver on those crazy, busy days when you would otherwise starve. If you are looking for a great new recipe, this Slow Cooker Fiesta Chicken and Rice is one you will for sure want to file in your recipe book. It’s a keeper!

Does the chicken need to be cooked 1st, or goes in raw?
The chicken doesn’t need to be cooked, it goes into the crock pot raw. Thanks for asking.
