Ingredients:

Serving

vegetable oil cooking spray
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut in 1/2-inch chunks
1 large diced onion
4 minced garlic cloves
10 oz spinach, frozen
1 (15 oz) can chicken broth, low-fat
3/4 cup salsa, i use mild , but i don'tsp like a lot of heat
1/2 tsp tabasco jalapeno sauce, green, not red (green tabasco jalapeno sauce isn'tsp hot like red tabasco sauce. it adds the flavor of jalapeno withou)
2 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 (15 oz) can tomatoes and green chilies
1 bay leaf
2/3 cup brown rice, raw, not instant
1 cup light sour cream, for garnish
2 green onions, chopped, for garnish

Directions:

Coat bottom of very hot pan with vegetable cooking spray, add chicken, onion and garlic. Stirfry rapidly till chicken is lightly browned & sealed on all sides.
Put cooked chicken, onion, and garlic in crockpot with all other ingredients (except sour cream and green onions). Add enough water to come within 1 of top. Cook on low all day. Whoever gets home from work first, stir it and check the water level. If you need to add more water, be sure and turn the pot to High . AND KEEP THE LID ON FIRMLY!
Top with 2 tablespoons of fat-free sour cream (per serving) and some chopped green onion on the soup - looks pretty. Stir it in - tastes heavenly!
