Using fresh produce is one way to ensure your Mexican food recipes come out tasting the way they are supposed to.

Easy Mexican Chicken and Mushroom Casserole

Crockpot

This simple recipe makes a warming dinner, which the whole family will love. You can use any kind of chicken you have to make it but boneless chicken is best because you do not have to fish chicken bones out of the hot sauce at the end of the cooking time. You can use pork chops instead of chicken if you want.

So, to make this dish, add four chicken pieces to your slow cooker and stir in a can of cream of mushroom soup, a chopped onion, a can of Mexican style diced tomatoes and half a can of milk. Add salt, pepper, and hot sauce, then cover the crockpot and cook the recipe for about five hours on low. Serve with noodles or rice.

While you are making the noodles or rice, you can transfer the chicken to a platter and cover it with aluminum foil. Turn the crockpot up to high and leave it uncovered. Let the sauce reduce. If it is too thin, either transfer it to a pan on the stove to get a higher heat or add some flour or cornstarch dissolved in water. This is nice served with cilantro leaves on top.
