Verde Chicken & Rice

This twist on chicken jack verde is a nice all-in-one dish. I (Leeann) particularly liked how the rice turned out.

1 cup uncooked rice
3 cups water
Chili powder
Chicken bullion
Cumin
Salt & pepper
1 onion, coarsely chopped
3-5 large chicken pieces (breasts or thighs)
1 large can salsa verde
Sour cream or cream cheese

Put rice at bottom of the crock pot with about half the chopped onion. Cover with water and season to taste with chili powder, bullion, cumin, salt and pepper.
Place chicken pieces on top of the rice. Add rest of onion and dust with seasonings if desired. Cover chicken completely with salsa verde. If desired, add a little sour cream or cream cheese to salsa. These can also be added for flavor about half an hour before serving.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Note: though I haven’t tried it, I wager that mushrooms (canned or fresh) and/or roasted red peppers would make excellent additions to this concoction.
