McCormick Slow Cooker Fiesta Chicken Seasoning Mix, 1.5 oz Envelope

This is the first time I have used a seasoning packet in my crock pot. It was very simple and only called for a few ingredients. I used frozen chicken tenders. I did not add the corn because I don't like corn. I used one can of Mexican diced tomatoes, and one can of plain. I was a little disappointed with the outcome, because it seemed to be lacking a little in flavor. Although it did have a nice mild spiciness to it. I probably won’t make it again. I will definitely be trying other McCormick slow cooker seasoning packets though

Very simple and easy directions to follow. Open packet, add to the list of ingredients that have already been listed in the back and voila, you're done. The tiny packet is enough seasoning for approximately 4-5 pounds of food. Based on the recipe on the back, you would mix the seasoning with 2 pounds of chicken, 2 cans of diced tomatoes, 1 can of corn, 1 can of black beans. In terms of nutrition facts, there are only about 15 calories per serving (about 8 servings per packet) and the only main additional component is sodium (20% of your daily value) per serving. All in all, this is a good product that brings all the ingredients together nicely and in a tasty fashion.

I wouldn't say the Fiesta Chicken Seasoning Mix was a party on my plate, but it was an interesting and different flavor to enjoy on chicken. I served my Fiesta Chicken mixed with pasta and my family did not enjoy it so much. It might have been just the fact that it was mixed with spaghetti, but, I have a feeling they might have enjoyed it better if it was served on a hamburger bun. I like that this seasoning mix does NOT contain caramel color. If I were to try this seasoning mix again I would sprinkle this on homemade French fries. It would be a rich way to season fries besides just using salt.

This was really selected for my family since I am not big on Mexican dishes. I did taste the dish and it did compare to others I have ate. My family tasted this also with me and they seem to have enjoyed it. All of it was gone by the end of dinner, and my 13 year old loved it well enough to tell me to give this dish a high-five. I would think that this dish would be a great pick for anyone who has a appetite for a simple Mexican dinner.

We (4 adults and 1child) enjoyed the Fiesta Chicken Slow Cooker seasoning mix. It was so easy to fix. I was a little late starting it so I cooked 1 hour on high and 5 hours on low, even starting with frozen chicken breasts. I prepared it just as the package suggested over rice, except using a quart of home canned tomatoes. It was not overly spicy. It was plenty with enough for leftovers later, but if I needed to extend for more servings, I would add another can of corn and, or black beans.
