Hello! I am very excited to share this new recipe with you today. A friend on YouTube, Cooking with Kory asked if I wanted to make a crock pot casserole with a few other other YouTubers today and of course I had to say yes. Search #crockpotcasserole on YouTube and see what everoone else has made.

uncooked chicken, peppers, and onions and green enchilada sauce.

This recipe has the flavors of green chile chicken enchiladas but I used rice instead of tortillas. One of my mom’s signature dishes was  green chile enchiladas which was my inspiration for this.

      I usually make rice in the Instant Pot. Do you know how much uncooked regular long-grain white rice would yield 3 cups cooked rice?

        I believe it’s one cup of rice.

      We don’t like to use our oven in the summer. Always looking for slow cooker ideas. I substituted Pobalnos for mild green chilies. Can’t do the heat.

      This was a hit and will definitely be a go to for the winter as well. Would have take a picture, but the family started diving in before I had a chance.
