Crock Pot Chicken Casserole

Ingredients
4-5 boneless skinless chicken breast or 7-8 things
1 Jar of salsa
1 box of INSTANT brown rice
1 can of pinto beans (or any kind of bean you want!)
1/2 cup grated 2% Cheddar Cheese!
Optional
2 Jalapenos
1 Onion
1 Bell Pepper

Cook Chicken and salsa in crock pot for 4-6 hours. When the meat is tender, break it up with a fork. You will have lots of juice left over from the chicken and salsa, add  about a cup of instant rice to the juice, add your can of beans juice and all. Precook your optional ingredients in a skillet with olive oil and add at this point. Place lid on crock fro 10 mins, if there is still liquid add more instant rice and wait a few minutes til you reach your desired thickness for the casserole.  Serve and sprinkle with cheese!


Note, it is CRUCIAL that you use instant rice and nothing else. This helps you avoid the need to measure the liquid and adjust accordingly.
