30 EASY MEXICAN CHICKEN RECIPES - INSANELY GOOD

Category Chicken, Recipe Roundup
  • Crockpot Mexican Chicken. This recipe is so much more than just shredded chicken. Thanks to the chipotle peppers in adobo, it’s smokey, sweet, and wonderfully spicy.
  • Mexican Chicken and Rice. This is best made in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan. The reason is, you’ll want to cook everything in the same pot so you can use all the juices for maximum flavor.
  • Mexican Chicken Casserole. Many Mexican or Tex-Mex meals are full of tomatoes, making them fresh and acidic. This recipe, on the other hand, is crazy-creamy and brimming with chicken flavor.
  • Skinny Mexican Chicken Skillet. This is the perfect recipe if you want to indulge in Mexican flavors without going overboard on cheese. Loaded with lean chicken breast, corn, and beans, it’s packed with color, terrific texture, and tons of flavor.
  • Mexican Chicken and Beans. This recipe only calls for six ingredients (one of which is water), and I’ll bet you have the rest ready to go. Even if you don’t have any Mexicorn, you can use regular easily enough.
  • Chicken Enchiladas. Ever since I was a kid, I haven’t been able to resist chicken enchiladas. To this day, I order them every time we go out for Mexican food.
  • Grilled Chicken Street Tacos. Street tacos are essentially regular tacos; only they’re typically smaller and therefore easier to grab and go. Also, these are usually only filled with meat, fresh salsa, and onion, making them much lighter.
  • Chicken Burritos. Remember that Mexican chicken you already made in the Crockpot? This is the ideal recipe to use it in! Of course, you can also cook the chicken on the stove with lots of taco seasoning if you’re in a rush.
  • Chicken Chimichangas. Chimichangas aren’t as prevalent as burritos, which is a real shame because I love their crunchy texture. In my opinion, when filling and burrito or chimichanga, you should use either shredded chicken or chop it relatively small.
  • Mexican Chicken Soup. If you have a sniffle or aren’t feeling great, you’ll have to try this fresh and spicy Mexican chicken soup. The peppers will help to clear your airways, and I bet it will brighten you up in no time.
