Crockpot Tomatillo Chicken
You know a recipe is good when… Your husband ask’s for thirds. Your children eat all their food.. by them selves.The left overs are gone the next day, and it’s a hand-me-down. And a hand-me-down of a hand-me-down. All of that happened to be this lovely slow cooker recipe.
Combine everything in the crockpot except sour cream. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. When done shred chicken and add sour cream. This is a hard recipe to mess up. Feel free to add more or less of your favorite flavors. I tend to be heavy on the lemon and cumin because I just can’t get enough of them! Never walk up to me and say lemon… you might get drooled on
Serve the chicken and sauce in tortillas.
Or in a creamy quesidilla
Or some creamy chicken Nachos
Or a
Chicken Taco
Or.. all three
