Slow Cooker Cuban Chicken

by aimee @ shugarysweets on January 26, 2012

This is an easy dinner that simmers all day in the slow cooker. Serve with some brown rice, egg noodles, or cheesy onion beer bread. The leftovers are fabulous on a tortilla with melted cheese. Enjoy!

Nice and easy! And I can tell it’s got to be delicious with the chilies, garlic, tomato and peppers. When those things simmer with anything it tastes fantastic :)
