I agree, best slow cooker chicken EVER! This was outstanding! I cooked for 5 hours on low and it was perfect.

I almost hesitate to comment because I changed the recipe up a LOT, but it was so good, I thought I’d comment anyway. I used one package of breast meat and another of thighs, added the onion and lime, and subbed out canned Mexican salsa for the chiles. I also added one packet of taco seasoning to the mix, and cooked it for 9 hours on low. It made the most awesome chicken tacos!

Made these the other night and topped them with homemade guac! So incredibly yummy. To be honest, I’m always very hesitant to use chicken breasts in the crockpot as I find them very dry and chewy but these were wonderful. Plenty of moisture to make them so good.

absolutely delicious! After I made these for my family, I gave my mom and sister the recipe and everyone love it!
