Slow Cooker Mexican-Style Chicken Breasts Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Chicken breasts are seasoned with some mexican-style spices and sweet and hot chile peppers, along with tomatoes and cheese. Serve the slow-cooked chicken shredded or chopped in warm flour tortillas. Feel free to use boneless chicken thighs in this dish instead of chicken breasts. I add taco seasoning to the chicken for spicy, taco flavor. Or use pepper jack or taco-seasoned shredded cheese. We've included instructions for a quick and easy homemade salsa and basic fresh guacamole below the recipe. See the tips and variations for more substitution and flavor ideas.
