Crockpot Jalapeno Chicken
My mouth is watering right now thinking of this dish.
It is delicious, slightly spicy, comforting, and incredibly easy to make.
Oh, and the leftovers taste even better. That is, if you still have any left over!
I began dreaming of this dish when we had an overgrowth of jalapeno’s in our tower garden. Actually, I planted more than just peppers, but they seemed to be the only thing that grew this summer! They were loving the Texas heat!
Growing up, my dad loved adding jalapeno peppers to his chicken. As a kid, it was way too spicy for me! As my taste buds developed over the years, I realized, he was onto something! Jalapenos with chicken is amazing! The thought of my dad with his jalapeno chicken is what stirred my mind into imagining this dish, and I’m so glad, because it is my husbands favorite!
Baby Asher helped me pick the peppers, I thought it was adorable of course. But then we attempted to eat them and I had to quickly grab!
