Tex-Mex Chicken is one of our most popular recipes. Especially because the slow cooker does most of the work! Thanks to Kim Holland for sharing her recipe. Here's what she had to say about why this dish is so great:
"This is the easiest chicken recipe I have! My kids love the chicken tacos we make with this. Leftovers are good heated or cold. I have even frozen half the recipe for use a couple week later."
