It's no secret, I love a good reason to celebrate. Heck, it doesn't even need to be a reason to have some fun or make some Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken for that matter. But, when there is one, you'll find me lining up with party hat on.  On that note, there is a festive holiday that you may or may not know about yet. It's celebrated across Mexico and in other Latin American countries, it's called Día del Niño. If you are Spanish speaking or if you've got some schoolin' under your belt like I do, it means "Children's Day" or "Day of the Child".  Mark your calendar for April 30th and hop on board and plan something too.

Now we know that children are celebrated on Día del Niño, but how exactly? That's a great question! It’s a time where communities come together and hold special events for children. They spend the time to remember the joys of childhood while sharing. It's a special time to share with your kiddos. To get the fiesta started, HERDEZ® Brand is helping us celebrate authentically, by inspiring the inner chef in every child.  Maybe that means you'll share nostalgic recipes that remind you of your childhood or try some new authentic and easy Mexican recipes that are wholesome, fun and tradition based. I'm inviting you to have a little fun, get your hands dirty and cook up some love with your kids in the kitchen.

As you know, we just recently moved, I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to get my hands on some HERDEZ® Salsa Casera at my local grocery store. I've never been to Mexico, but I love that their salsa tastes just the like "authentic" salsa that I've come to enjoy over the years.

It's amazing that just cracking open the lid can summon so many memories and good feelings. Their salsa embraces my own approach with cooking, it contains only 5 simple ingredients yet packs a delicious punch. I couldn't help but to honor this simplistic product by making my own simple recipe. You might be familiar with my Fiesta Slow Cooker Chicken recipe which uses cheddar soup. This Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken scales back a bit and is made with simply chicken and salsa. So easy, so yummy.

The beauty of using HERDEZ® Salsa Casera in your slow cooker is that your home will smell amazing for hours.
