With the colder weather still hanging around in Texas, crockpot recipes just seem to add warmth to the body and soul. It is always nice to have dinner ready when you arrive home from hard day's work!
TOOLS:
• Cutting Board
• Knife
• Potato Peeler
• Chopper
• Slow Cooker (crockpot)
INGREDIENTS:
• 2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken breasts,
  cut into ½" pieces
• 4 med russet potatoes, peeled and cut
  small
• 1 med onion, diced
• 1 16oz jar of mild salsa

  diced green chilies

PREPARATION:
Place potatoes in bottom of crockpot. Layer the chicken next, then the onions. Combine all the other ingredients and spread over the top. Cook 7-9 hours on low. Serve with warm flour tortillas.

HINTS: I used the chopped, whole tomatoes because I like mine a little chunky. You can use 1 8oz can of tomato sauce. Use the green chilies for a milder dish. You can judge the “heat” (spiciness) of the dish by using 1 tbsp chipolte for a milder version, 2 tbsp for more heat & 3 tbsp for the brave at heart!
