Slow Cooker Tex-Mex Chicken - 1

Hi, it’s Jenn, from Eat Cake For Dinner . I’m back again and this time I am sharing a reaaaaally good dinner recipe with all of you.

I’ve decided I should use my slow cooker more often, at least on the weekends. It’s hard for me to use it during the week, because if I started a dish before work, by the time I got home, it would be way over cooked. Maybe I should get one of those slow cookers where it automatically flips to “warm” when the cooking time is over. Does anyone have one like that? Do you like it?

This chicken only takes a few minutes to put together and in just a few hours, you can have a terrific dinner ready for your family.

The chicken was so tender and shredded apart beautifully. We did not skimp on the toppings. Sour cream, Cheddar cheese, cilantro, green onions and tomato made this already delicious chicken dish even better. It doesn’t get much easier than this!
