New Recipe: Slow Cooker Santa Fe Chicken

February 5, 2013 by RecipeLion 1 Comment

This guest post comes to us from Featured Foodie Amanda Formaro.

While the slow cooker is truly a year-round tool, I really use it quite a bit during the winter months. I love coming home to piping hot chili, homemade soup and other delicious comfort foods. Using my slow cooker is a must for busy weeknights and a great way to avoid the fast food line.

Something else I like to do is prepare things ahead of time. When I come home from the grocery store, I package up meat in their proper portions according to the recipes I’m making in the coming weeks, or simply based off of the portion sizes needed for my family.

This southwest inspired dish is not only perfect for the slow cooker it’s also an ideal candidate for making ahead and freezing for another day. I used my Oliso vacuum sealer to package the chicken for this meal. Vacuum sealing keeps air out and resists freezer burn.

You can whisk together all of the ingredients below, minus the chicken, and store it in the freezer as well if you like, or assemble it the night before. Simply thaw the chicken, mix all remaining ingredients and cook as directed. A hearty, warm meal perfect for dinner!
