Some of my favorite recipes are of the slow cooker chicken variety. My family likes chicken a lot and this recipe is straight forward and tasty!
Way back when my (now) teenager/tween were itty bitty, I used to gather recipes from old recipe books, magazines and family members. One time I spent hours at my aunt’s house painstakingly hand writing all of my favorite recipes from her onto little cards. Some of those recipes are still of the of the ones I go to over and over. Today’s recipe is from an old magazine that I’ve added altered just slightly: Slow Cooker Chicken Tex Mex.
The original recipe didn’t call for chips or sour cream. You can omit those if you want. I felt like it needed a crunch and that the sour cream balanced added something to it. But it’s fine on it’s own too.
Slow Cooker Chicken Recipes

I have used this recipe a couple times, but I added a chopped, medium sized onion the second time. I personally think the onion improves the meal…. but then I like onions.
Is.this for serving of 4?
Holy yummi-ness. This sounds amazing, and now I’m super hungry at 9:15 in the evening. Haha!
