I found this recipe here. I knew from reading the ingredients that my husband would love it! I was right! It was a bit spicy for me, but I threw on some shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream and that made it even better for me! This did take some prep work before you could put it in the crock pot. I only used one pound of the chicken thighs. I thought two pounds of chicken would be more than we could eat. I kept the rest of the ingredients the same. I served this with rice and it was perfect!
