Southwest Slow Cooker Chicken
Have you heard? We’re on a roll at A Bountiful Kitchen. Super simple. Quick and easy. Last week I postedSlow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken, andBaked Taco Rollups. This week, Southwest Slow Cooker Chicken.

It doesn’t get easier than this. This is a dump-and-cook-in-the-crockpot recipe. You can serve it over rice, on tortilla chips, on a bed of lettuce, or in a taco (soft or hard shell). We usually eat it rolled up in a soft flour tortilla, with some lettuce and tomato. This is, by far, my favorite slow cooker recipe.

I’m betting it will be yours too.
