Crock Pot Bajio Chicken

"I found this on the "Six Sisters' Stuff" blog and they linked it from "Your Home Based Mom." This is a versatile Mexican chicken dish that can be served on a salad with black beans and avacado, in quesadillas or over tortilla chips, taco style. It is a sweeter dish as apposed to being spicy. I've also included the OAMC/freezer instructions."

directions

  • Combine all ingredients in a crock pot. Cook on low for 5-6 hours. Remove chicken and shred. Return to crock pot and cook 1 more hour. Thicken the juices with a little cornstarch mixed in water, if desired.
  • If you want it spicier rather than sweeter add a hotter salsa and more green chilies.
  • Serve with taco fixings or as suggested in the recipe description.
  • OAMC/Freezer Instructions:

  • Once it is all cooked and shredded, pour into a freezer gallon-sized ziploc bag. Freeze flat. When you are ready to use it, quickly reheat it (either in a crock pot or even a microwave!). It works best if you let it thaw in your fridge for about 24 hours before reheating it.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

The most defining trait in my life is that I am a mother to two wonderful boys (Tyler, 20 and Zayden, 9). I live in the little college town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. It is the most wonderful place to live as it's nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and along the beautiful Susquehanna River. Seeing that we live in Central Pennsylvania, our family is also a bunch of HARDCORE Penn State Nittany Lion fans! We are...PENN STATE! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Joe Paterno win his 400th game as the head coach of the football team. I cried like I did when my children were born. The other love of my life is cooking. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was 20, but believe me I have made up for lost time! I absolutely adore baking and I do it whenever I can. I love making Christmas cookies and I have begun hosting our extended families at our home for Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. So far so good. I love food.com because it allows me to expand my culinary skills and my recipe box with ideas from other people like me. There is something for everyone and I have been a loyal member since 2005. I hope you enjoy my recipes and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
