We love making this crockpot chicken recipe in the summer. I like to cook my crockpot food outside on the deck. That way the smell of the food cooking for hours stays outside and there’s no added heat in the house.
If the weather is terrible, I’ve also been known to cook my crockpot food in the garage or the bathroom with a fan on. If you have a hard time enjoying food after you’ve smelt it for hours, try my trick. It’s a game changer.
This is one of the best dump-and-go recipes every family should have on rotation. It is honestly my favorite way to prepare chicken for enchiladas.
I like to add more chicken so we have enough for tacos or taco salad the first night and then enchiladas a couple of nights later. Just add some cheese to a tortilla, creamy salsa verde chicken, some beans or sauteed veggies if you want and then some enchilada sauce on top. It has so much flavor and everyone loves them.
