This was last night's dinner. My husband loved it. It
was very good. Even my 7 year old ate some of it. That
is saying a lot.
It was so easy to do. Love that. I can't believe how
much I've been using my c/p lately - 1-2x a week! Wow.
Love that.
Anyway, here is the recipe. It was adapted from the
new Pillsbury The Slow Cooker Cookbook, 3/03. I used
poblano peppers instead of the roasted red peppers
asked for and fresh mushrooms instead of the jarred
variety (which I can't stand the texture and flavor
of).
For myself, I used whole wheat pasta. For my family, I
used regular kind. We all enjoyed the dish.

NOTES : Risa's notes:
* I used poblano chiles as that is what I had. They
are a very mild green chile. I roasted them, seeded
them and cut them into strips to approximate the shape
and size of the jarred roasted red peppers.
** Make sure when adding chicken to crockpot to
separate it or when it cooks it will become one big
mass of chicken. About 10 minutes in, stir it about a
bit. Then another 20 minutes do the same. This should
help it to keep it separate.
If using a larger crockpot, most of this will cook
faster than noted. So if the recipe says it will cook
in 5-6 hours, it will probably more like 4-5. More
surface area to heat up, less cooking time. Adjust
recipe to your crockpot.
This was a big winner with husband and me. Very tasty.
