Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken

Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken

We’ve recently started eating dinner as family a few nights a week. Taco night has quickly become the favourite meal, appearing every week. But there are only so many tacos you can eat before you start looking for something new to put in them. And I do have a few variations on the classic beef taco already but I was looking for something just a bit different. Now the girls seriously love their taco boats so I didn’t want to change things too much. But knowing they’ll eat chicken I thought a Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken would make a good alternative. And it’s a winner!

It combines so many of my favourite things as well as ticking the Mexican / Taco flavour box. It’s super simple, healthy, perfect for the family and packed full of delicious flavours. And it’s done in the slow cooker so really is a set and forget dish that is perfect for any weeknight. It makes for great leftovers and freezes well. And the end result is so versatile. Use the slow cooker Mexican chicken on tacos or nachos, as a filling burritos or quesadillas, serve it over rice or on top of a salad. It’s delicious on it’s own or load it up with cheese, coriander and jalapenos and a big squeeze of lime. Perfect family food, whichever way you decide to enjoy!
