Recipe Rave: SALSA CHICKEN

On my left sidebar, you will see that I'm currently reading (or maybe I should say we are eating our way through) a newly published slow cooker cookbook - Make It Fast, Cook It Slow: The Big Book of Everyday Slow Cooking. I haven't been much of a slow cooker fan because I like my meat with texture and my veggies with crunch and most crockpot meals I've attempted seem to cook everything to mush. But I will admit I'm a much sweeter and gentler mama when dinner is already well underway by early afternoon so I was intrigued when I heard about this new book. Also, the fact that every recipe is gluten free was a draw as well - since we've got a wheat allergy in the house.

Apparently, the author made a New Year's resolution to use her slow cooker everyday for the entire year of 2008. You can read about her experience on her blog - A Year of Slow Cooking.

Since all the moms I know are always looking for ways to maximize their time, I thought it might be fun (and hopefully helpful to some of the moms who stop by here) if I share some of the recipes that we try and really like. (Many of her recipes are on her blog and I'll link to them when possible. If they're not on her blog, I'll likely not share the entire recipe but rather encourage to look for the book at your local library.)

Tonight we had Salsa Chicken. While I can't say it was a hit with everyone, I, personally, really enjoyed it. Could it be because we adulterated it with Velveeta and Rotel dip? Who knows! But it's very likely I'll make this one again.
