slow cooker ranchero chicken

Because I’m a food blogger and I’m always getting crazy in the kitchen…I don’t find myself coming back to recipes over and over…and over and over. But this chicken recipe has become my favorite ‘base’ for many meals, including the Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup and the Chicken Enchilada Casserole. (Both of these recipes are part of the Gluten Free Costco Plan BTW!)

I love how simple this Ranchero Chicken recipe is…and how I can easily double or triple it so I’ll have some to stash in the freezer.
