What a great tasting recipe. I followed as written and it went together so simply. Flavor was right on and we all ate it and none was left. Served with a side of seasoned rice and a green salad. Thanks for posting. Made for Spring PAC 2012. -
This is a great recipe--simple ingredients but nicely balanced. The chicken breast had a very nice flavor to them. I did one major thing different. Instead of on the stovetop, which would have produced a thicker stew, I fixed it in the crockpot. As I'm in the middle of canning pears, I did not have the time to cut and cook at the stove. So I cut the chicken breast (bone left in) in half with one good swing of my cleaver and placed them in the bottom of the crockpot, added onions, pepper, garlic, spices, beans, tomatoes and picante sauce in that order. Turn the crockpot on high for 4 hours and it was done when we were done with the pears. (A whole chicken breast was cut into 4 pieces instead of two halves.) This is a definite keeper. I served it with a sidedish of Red beans and Rice. Texasmomof2, I tip my Stetson to you for sharing this great recipe. And yes I do own a Stetson.

I live just outside a town of 18,000 people. We are actually 8 miles out in the "sticks" and we love it! I have a son who is 9 and a daughter who is 6. DH and I have been married for 10 years. We also have a furry baby, our 9 year old maltese mix Rita. I am a full time homemaker.
I am very active in supporting our troops. The whole family is involved in writing and sending care packages. We've made some awesome, life long friends over the past 2 years!
I am crazy about roosters! My kitchen is full of roostery things and I have to buy ever new rooster item I find!
As far as cooking goes, I have pretty much had to teach myself. My Mom's idea of cooking was going to McDonalds! Life sure got interesting when I married a man who's mom made everything from scratch! LOL The first few years we pretty much survived on Hamburger Helper. In the past year, I've discovered I have a passion for baking. I love trying new recipes. My new thing is trying to find new recipes for my crockpot.
