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-versa.

Easy Dinners Are the Best

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.

Easy Meal Prep

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