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!!!
