I love to cook using my crock pot so I had to try this recipe. I LOVED it!What is not to love -chicken, beans,rice, and cheese?! I will be making it again. I did leave out the ground chipotle pepper as I am not a fan of spicy foods.The diced tomatoes with the mild green chilies add just the right amount of kick for me. This is so easy to make my 3 1/2 year old helped to make it.
