Kristen's Kickin' Crock Pot Chicken image

easy, healthy, and tastes great! i marinated this overnight so that it would be extra flavorful, but I'm sure it'd be just as good if dumped in crock pot in the morning. this is a fun recipe to play with. you can make it as mild or spicy as you'd like. i prefer really spicy but the rest of my family doesn't. i add extra jalapenos on my plate!

MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH SLOW COOKER CHICKEN



Melt-in-Your-Mouth Slow Cooker Chicken image

This recipe using only three chicken breasts is very economical and super delicious! My kids love it and they are extremely picky. The chicken just melts in your mouth and is so flavorful! Garlic bread and salad goes well with this meal. I always taste before serving so I will know what, if anything more, I need to add such as Parmesan, Italian dressing, or milk if it's too thick, etc.
