Easy Keto Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken Thighs

This is an easy, tasty keto Mexican chicken thigh recipe that you will just have to make again and again, I know I do.  I love my slow cooker… just set it and forget it until it is time to eat. I don’t think I have an appliance that I love more than my slow cookers. Yes, I said “slow cookers” plural. I have a large one and a small one because some things are better in one and not the other and vice-vera.

As I have said before I have two vegetarians in the house so only my oldest son and I eat the chicken. My husband and youngest son have a vegetarian option and then we pair this with either cauliflower mash or just some steamed vegetables with butter.

I also love Mexican food, so this easy chicken thigh recipe hits on both my loves without all the work. This is the perfect dinner for any day of the week. I LOVE easy dinners and ones, where I have leftovers that I can make another easy dinner, are even better.

I put this in a big family size crock pot, but feel free to cut the recipe in half and use a smaller crock pot. However, if you have to cook anyway why not have leftovers for the next day for dinner or a lunch. It just makes eating keto so much easier and who doesn’t love “easy”?
