Mexican Chicken Haystacks

12-16-oz jar salsa (hot or mild, depending on taste)
2 10-oz cans cream of chicken soup
3 boneless/skinless chicken breasts, cut into small chunks or chopped
1 small onion, chopped
2 ½ cups shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack or Mexican blend
2 tsp taco seasoning
2 tbsp quick cooking tapioca granules (optional-helps thicken sauce)

Hot cooked rice

Toppings:
sour cream
olives
green onions
jalapenos
lime wedges
black beans
corn
salsa
crushed tortilla chips

Combine salsa, soup, raw chicken, onion, 1 cup of the cheese, taco seasoning, and tapioca granules in crock-pot.

Stir, then cook on high for 3 to 4 hours. (Due to raw chicken, it’s best not to cook on low setting).

Serve over hot rice, sprinkling with remaining cheese and other toppings.

Serves: 6
