    Creamy Salsa Chicken Recipe

    Quite possibly the best slow cooker chicken ever.

    If you don’t eat it straight out of the slow cooker, it’s also delicious when shredded and used in enchiladas, soft tacos/burritos, hard shell tacos and street tacos.

    This is literally one of this “winner winner chicken for dinner” meals!

    PLEASE note the timing on adding the sour cream…

    Enjoy!!!
