Instead of green bell pepper, I used medium hot green chilis. It was delicious!!

This recipe is so good! The only thing I would do different is season the chicken with salt and pepper beforehand, and let it marinate in lime juice...trust me! Also, watch the time, mine was done in only two hours.

I served this along with refried beans and tortillas and it was a hit. Sooooo delicious and super easy. Tasted like something you could order at a yummy Mexican restaurant.

My family really liked this recipe. Although I was feeding a four year old so I opted not to use the salsa. Instead I used a can of the Mexican style petite cut tomatoes and it was excellent.

Making it for the 2nd time today!! I added the whole package of taco seasoning, black olives & onions. I put on top of whole wheat pasta, family loved it!! Leftovers - I made a "Taco salad" also added avacado.

This was a great recipe. Watch the time, though, depending on your slow cooker. I found that this would have been fine at 5 1/2 - 6 hours, though I left it longer while we were at my son's soccer game. Another 30 minutes and it would have been overly done. Add some cornbread on the side - yum!!

VERY GOOD, EASY TO MAKE, NOT TO SPICY. SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE BUT A RECIPE DOESN'T NEED TO TELL YOU THAT. EVEN WITHOUT THAT, IT WAS FAR FROM BLAND. I ALSO MADE MASHED POTATOS BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH RICE AND IT WAS GOOD WITH THOSE ALSO.

Loved it!! Added a can of red kidney beans for some more protien and then crumbled tortilla chips on top just before serving! Kids loved it, great on soccer nights.
