Ingredients

  • 3 lbs chicken pieces, bone in
  • 4 ounces apricot jam
  • 12 ounces pineapple-mango salsa
  • 1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning

Instructions

  1. Put chicken, jam, salsa, and seasoning in crockpot and cook on low for 5 hours (my chicken was not completely thawed at this point).
  2. Put rice in crockpot and swirl and stir as best you can to mix the sauce and rice together around the chicken pieces (which should be almost falling apart at this point).
  3. Cook for 30 more minutes.
  4. This amount of liquid made perfect rice.
  5. There was just enough liquid unabsorbed by the rice to make the dish moist.
  6. Note: next time I wll probably use the whole 8 oz.
  7. of jam called for in the original recipe, and will bag and freeze everything (except the rice) together raw.
