    Can I cook this but use velveeta instead of cheese queso from a jar? I have rotel and my kids would prefer chicken breast while not shredded. I didn’t know if you had any suggestions. This looks Devine and would be awesome to come home and make some Mexican rice to serve with it.

      Hi Shannon ~ I honestly haven’t tried this recipe substituting Velveeta, but if you do… let me know how it turns out!

    When it says cook chicken in the crockpot, do you put anything with it, liquid or anything?

    Reply
    • Heidi says

      September 16, 2019 at 1:04 pm

      Hi Vikki ~ you’ll cook just the chicken in the crockpot for the first step. No extra liquid is needed, because the chicken will quickly release juices and cook in its own juices. Hope that helps! 🙂

    This looks good! This is the first recipe I’ve seen so far that cooks the chicken first and then adds everything else and only cooks for 30 minutes. Still simple, but makes sure the other ingredients don’t get overcooked. I can’t wait to try this.
