Slow Cooker Shredded Mexican Chicken

Mexican chicken

Slow Cooker Shredded Mexican Chicken is one of those family-favourite dishes that can be prepped ahead and popped in the slow cooker to bubble away contently, ready for your return. As winter drags on, I find myself using my slow cooker more. It fills the house with warm aromas and the promise of a delicious dinner.

My favourite part of this recipe is how versatile it is and how far it can stretch: serve it over rice with a side salad the first day then serve it the next night as filling for  tacos, enchiladas or burritos. Cook once, eat twice! Recipes that give me leftovers to create the next night’s meal always get a special place in my repertoire. Leftovers are mommy’s little helper!
