While their versions are slightly different, Kim and Ramona agreed that this Mexican chicken could not be easier – and their families love it!
With just a handful of ingredients and the convenience of a Crock-Pot or Instant Pot, it’s the kind of meal that practically makes itself. Even better, the finished chicken is incredibly versatile—use it for tacos, burrito bowls, salads, quesadillas, nachos, and more.
It’s the perfect summer dinner when you want something delicious without heating up the kitchen.
