Well friends, today is nothing like I had expected. And I am sure it is not anything like you had expected either. What I will say during this uncertain time we face is this. I love each and every one of you. I will be praying specifically for your health and safety. And I will do my best to guide you to delicious food as we are bound up in our homes for the foreseeable future. With that being said, I would love to share with you my recipe for No Chop Crockpot Mexican Chicken. It is a flavor packed recipe. And it is super versatile. You can use this chicken as a topping for nachos, a filling for tacos or burritos. You could even roll it into enchiladas and pour a white cheese sauce over the top.
The key difference in this recipe is I selected ingredients that did not require prep. Ingredients like pre-chopped peppers and onions, fresh salsa, and fresh chicken breasts. I was hoping you could use this recipe on a busy weekday to help make a delicious meal without all of the chopping. And in the future, you can do that. For now, as we face this Covid-19 virus I want to tell you a few ways you can adapt this recipe to ingredients you may have on hand.
