Spicy Chicken Stew

Nothing is better than coming home from work to the smell of a dinner that is done!  This dish was pretty easy, and tasty enough that I will probably add it to my permenant crock-pot repertoire.  I used a mixture of chicken breast and thigh meat to give it a little more flavor.  You could use all breast meat to cut down on the fat though.  I found this recipe from www.myrecipes.com, which is a great website if you want the nutritional information for the recipe!  This is also the website where you can find all of the Cooking Light recipes.
