Slow Cooker Spicy Mexican Chicken Stew Recipe

Maggie Shi's new book "Slow Cooker Family Favorites" takes the technology of the slow cooker and turns time-intensive dishes into ones you can enjoy easily and nightly. Just in time for the cold weather, this stew hits on all the needed notes of a weekday meal—hearty, full of flavor and it literally cooks itself so you don't have to worry about dinner after a long day. Shi adds, "This festive meal is anything but boring; it’s bursting with shredded chicken, corn, and includes a jar of store-bought salsa (an effective shortcut). I recommend choosing a spicy one to give the stew a lively kick."
