Serves: 6
HU: 7

Cooking Spray
6 - 4 ounce skinless/boneless chicken breast halves
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1 - 10-3/4 ounce canned condensed reduce-fat reduced-sodium cream of chicken soup (undiluted)
1 - 4.5 ounce canned green chiles undrained. (I could not find 4.5 ounce can of green chiles so I used the 4 ounce can size but I did use the hot ones. If you don't like heat use the mild green chiles)
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt

Coat non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Place over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken and cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove chicken from skillet set aside. Recoat skillet with cooking spray, add onion, saute till tender. Place chicken into 4-5 quart slow-cooker. (I used the Crock-Pot liners) Combine onion, soup and chiles and stir well. Pour over chicken. Cover with lid. Cook on high heat setting for 1 hour. Reduce to low heat setting and cook 6 hours.

Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add rice saute 2 minutes or until rice is lightly browned. Gradually add water and salt and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.

Serve chicken and sauce over rice.

(Serving size 1 chicken breast, 1/3 cup sauce and 1/2 cup rice)
