Our easy crockpot fiesta chicken is a delicious “dump and go” crockpot recipe that makes a creamy Mexican-style chicken for a great taco filling! This recipe is a best friend to any busy person! Seriously.
You throw everything in the crockpot in the morning and when you come home you shred the chicken, add the cream cheese and serve it on tortillas or over rice.
If you love Mexican-inspired food as much as we do, I hope you’ll our white chicken enchiladas, cheesy chicken enchiladas, unique chicken posole, and hearty stew-like Mexican chicken soup.

Serving Recommendations
If I’m sort on time, I serve this over cooked white rice but when I have time I serve it over my restaurant-style Mexican rice.
We like to serve this with jalapeno cornbread, KFC coleslaw for some freshness, or my Mexican corn salad.
