Southwest Chicken and Rice is a slow cooker recipe that’s SO great for fall cooking!  It’s made of chicken, tomatoes, corn, and black beans with a creamy sauce that has a little kick!  We loved it :)

Southwest Chicken and Rice… I actually doubled this recipe because we like leftovers SO, after we had this for dinner- I dumped the extra rice into the chicken and mixed it up.  We had it again a few days later… rolled up as a filling in tortillas and it was delicious that way too :)
