Some days we can become so busy that we have no time to prepare supper. Between appointments, summer fun, and running errands the days disappear so quickly. Days like this are when I really appreciate my slow cooker and rice cooker. My rice cooker has a delay timer, so I can set it up in the morning, and set the timer to start when ever I need it!
When it's hot out, a slow cooker can be your best friend! Start cooking in the morning with out heating up the house.
One of my favourite recipe is for Santa Fe Chicken, and it can be made easily in a slow cooker or rice cooker.
Ingredients:
3 cups uncooked White rice
2 cups salsa or 1 can diced tomatoes with liquid and spices of your choice (chili powder, cumin, etc.)
3 cups water (if you use a can of tomatoes use 2 cups of water)
1-2 lb. diced chicken uncooked
1 onion diced (optional)
1 green pepper chopped (optional)
1 small can black beans drained (optional)
1/2 cup cream cheese
My family does not like this recipe with beans, so I omit them. Too bad, because I liked it!
Slow Cooker Directions:
Reduce the water to 2 1/2 cups. Put all ingredients except the cream cheese in your slow cooker. Cook on low 6 hours or high 4 hours.
This meal has gotten me tons of compliments! Enjoy!

When cooked, mix in the cream cheese and serve!
Rice cooker directions:
The same as with a slow cooker, only start 45 minutes before you want to eat.
