 | This dish reminded me of our family favorite, Crockpot Chicken Enchilda Soup. Miss F was a huge fan of this, but didn't like it served over the rice, she preferred hers straight. This is a perfect winter meal, throw everything in the crockpot in the morning and prep the rice after you shred the chicken, dinner is served. This will definitely go into my recipe box for the days when Miss F's after school activities keep us out late. It is so nice to come home to a house that smells great and dinner is ready. Thanks to Pink Parsley for the inspiration. |

1 green bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, chopped

Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred with two forks. Return the chicken to the crockpot and stir in the chipotle. Cover and cook on high for 10 minutes more. Prepare the rice per package instructions. Serve the rice with the chicken spooned over top, top with cilantro.
