Slow cooker southwest chicken and rice

Chicken second courses

Well, I'm starting to feel like the start of fall has actually arrived around here. Only 55 degrees yesterday afternoon which required me to wear a sweater when out running errands so I think that pretty well seals the deal. Now, I pretty much use my slow cooker year round, but I know for many of you the true kick off for slow cooker season is the switch to cooler temps. And what better way to kick it off (or keep it going) than with this Southwest flavor-inspired chicken that cooks in the slow cooker right along with the rice.
