Tex-Mex Chicken N Rice (Recipe)

This is a great dish to take to a potluck party.  It goes together in a jiffy with a package of taco seasoning mix.

Ingredients

2 cups converted white rice

1 (28 ounce) can diced peeled tomatoes

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

3 cups hot water

1 (1.04 ounce) package chicken taco seasoning mix

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

2 medium onions, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles

3/4 teaspoon garlic pepper

Steps

1.  In a 5 quart electric slow cooker, mix together all the ingredients except the chiles and garlic pepper.

2.  Cover and cook on the low heat setting 4 to 4 1/2 hours, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is white throughout; do not overcook or the rice will be mushy.

3.  Stir in the green chiles and garlic pepper and serve at once.
