Santa Fe Chicken in the crockpot

So...one can never turn down a crock pot recipe! This one turned out ok. It really didn't do much for me..and I probably won't make it again..but everyone else seemed to like it. The next day I used it to make quessidillas for Brian and he seemed to really enjoy them. I ended up freezing the rest for a later date. P.S. I found this recipe on Pinterest, and it comes originally from here...I changed some stuff. Here we go!
