Slow Cooked Fiesta Chicken and Rice Recipe

Recipe By Melissas Southern Style Kitchen

This slow cooked fiesta chicken and rice is as delicious as the colors are vibrant. It's truly a feast for the senses. Boneless skinless chicken breasts are rubbed with a blend of spices then nestled into a creamy rice mixture and slow cooked until the rice and chicken are tender. Topped with plenty of gooey cheese and chopped chives or green onion for even more color then serve with your favorite taco toppings for a homemade fiesta any night of the week.
