This Easy Tex-Mex Slow Cooker Chicken is one of my go-to meals when I do a pantry challenge. I almost always have everything I need on hand and it's so easy to throw everything into the crockpot! Add some rice for a filling dinner the whole family will love.
One of my favorite things about this is how easy it is to adjust the spice level. I often make two batches to throw into the freezer (before or after cooking) and just label them. To spice it up a bit, you can add diced jalapeños & a little cumin.

How to Make Tex-Mex Slow Cooker Chicken
This is a very quick meal to prepare. It only takes 10 minutes for your prep and cooks in 6 to 8 hours in the slow cooker!
Start by cutting your chicken into 1-inch strips & coating with taco seasoning and flour. Place in the crockpot. Add frozen pepper & onion mix, corn, salsa, Rotel, and black beans.
What kind of Slow Cooker do I need?
I love easy recipes like this! Only a few minutes in the kitchen in the morning & then I can have a delicious dinner that evening! This is why the slow cooker is my favorite kitchen gadget. My go-to is this 6 qt Crock-Pot. I love the locking lid and programming options. I use this for practically everything but have an 8 qt Hamilton Slow Cooker for when we have guests or I'm doubling larger recipes for the freezer.
