Recipe Review :: SkinnyTaste Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken

A while back the hubs started watching what he was eating and exercising pretty regularly. When he first started that he would pick up some Smart Ones from the grocery store and one of the ones he picked up and LOVED was the Santa Fe Style Rice & Beans. Well, when I saw a recipe that was kind of similar to it on SkinnyTaste.com, I knew I had to make it for him. 

I made the Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken and we both loved it. I served it over 1 cup of white rice (for an extra 5 points) and skipped the scallions on top. I also left out the cilantro - we're both not huge fans of cilantro. The picture below shows some cheese sprinkled on top.. you could do that if you wanted to (for more points) but we didn't bother and it was delicious without. 

Somehow when I made it I didn't get 8 servings, but 7 instead. Not sure why there was the difference..  This recipe will definitely be in regular rotation.
