Ingredients

8 skinless chicken thighs or 4 bone-in skinless chicken breast halves
284 ml (10 oz) canned condensed cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom
250 ml (1 cup) salsa, preferably spicy
15 ml (1 tbsp) chili powder
15 ml (1 tbsp) ground cumin
15 ml (1 tbsp) mild paprika or smoked and mild
1 large onion, chopped
1 green or yellow pepper, coarsely chopped
Coriander leaves, chopped, for garnish
Avocado, sliced, for garnish

Preparation

Remove excess fat from chicken, if necessary.
Pour condensed soup in slow cooker and cook at high intensity. Add salsa and spices. Let it heat while you chop onion and pepper. Before adding vegetables, stir salsa until mixture is smooth. Stir in vegetables and make sure they are well coated.
Add chicken pieces, by placing bone side upward. Press down chicken to submerge it as much as possible in mixture. Using a spoon, pour mixture over chicken. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on lower setting for 6 hours. This dish is great served over rice or pasta. Think about adding peas or black beans with rice and sprinkle with minced cilantro and slices of avocado. The extra sauce will go well with pasta and a little cheese.
