1 tsp whole dried chipotle powder
1 tsp whole cumin seed
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tbsp dried onion flakes
1 tsp whole mexican oregano
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp garlic granules
1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp black peppercorns
1 1/2 cups basmati rice
1 (28 oz) can diced peeled tomatoes
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
3 cups chicken stock (homemade is best )
6 chicken thighs, skinned , boned, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
2 yellow onions, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 -3 jalapeno chile, roasted, seeded , devained, minced

Directions:

Grind the first 9 ingredients in a spice mill.
Combine all ingredients except the Ortega Chilies in crock pot.
Mix well.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours until rice and chicken are done.
Like most crock pot rice dishes, it will turn mushy if over cooked.
Add chilies, mix well and serve.
You need a nice salad to counterpoint this dish, maybe Jicama & Cucumber or shredded baby carrot& toasted Pinones (Pine Nuts) dressed with Key Lime Juice or a tart Vinaigrette.
