  • Prep 20 min
  • Total 6 hr 45 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 3- to 3 1/2-lb cut-up broiler-fryer chicken, skin removed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 bag (1 lb) frozen stir-fry bell peppers and onions, thawed
  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) stewed tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 3/4 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 2 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce (from 7-oz can), chopped (2 tablespoons)
  • 1 cup uncooked instant rice

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken with garlic salt. Cook chicken in skillet over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides.
  • 2
    Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Mix chicken, stir-fry vegetables, corn, tomatoes, broth and chilies in cooker.
  • 3
    Cover and cook on Low heat setting 5 to 6 hours.
  • 4
    Remove chicken from cooker. Stir rice into mixture in cooker; return chicken to cooker. Increase heat setting to High. Cover and cook 20 to 25 minutes or until rice is tender.

  • Instead of the cut-up broiler-fryer, you also can make this recipe with 4 chicken breasts, skin removed.
  • It’s easy to remove the skin from larger pieces of chicken. However, skinning chicken wings and legs can be a little tricky. So you can either take off as much skin as possible or just leave it on these pieces.
  • Before serving, sprinkle this dish with chopped fresh cilantro or chopped green onions.
