I call this a Mexican Chicken Stew Recipe because that’s how I like to eat it, right out of the slow cooker. But, my kids like it on tortilla chips and it’s also really good wrapped in a flour tortilla like a burrito or even a taco. This Mexican Chicken Stew Recipe is literally a layer and cook in the slow cooker meal.
Doesn’t that look just amazing?! This is such a versatile recipe and it holds up really well in the fridge for a few days so that you can use it as a base for a few different meals, or you can ladle some into Ziploc bags and store in the freezer for super easy pre-made single serve meals! As a newly single gal, yeah, I am learning lots of tricks for making homemade meals for one easier. Angeline still lives at home, but she’s almost 19 and never home!
