Description

Lightning fast to put together, then slow roasted all day in a crock pot. This shredded chicken is great in tacos, nachos, chicken chili, Tex-Mex lasagna—you name it!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 2 teaspoons Prepared Taco Seasoning
  • 1-½ cup Your Favorite Salsa, Or Up To 2 Cups
  • Warm Tortillas Or Taco Shells, To Serve

Preparation

1. Spray the inside of the crock with cooking spray.
2. Place chicken into the crock, and sprinkle with taco seasoning.
3. Pour salsa over the chicken.
4. Cover crock and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours.
5. Shred chicken by piercing a breast with two forks near each other, then pulling forks outward away from each other. Repeat with each chicken breast until all chicken is shredded.
6. Stir shredded chicken into salsa and juices, to combine.
7. Serve chicken in warm tortillas or taco shells with your favorite taco condiments.
8. Chicken can also be used in chicken chili, over nachos, or layered in a pan between tortillas, cheese, and more salsa for a Tex-Mex type lasagna.

Just the perfect recipe for our family. Quick and Mexican! Can’t go wrong with anything in a tortilla in our house, and the fact that it can cook all day while I’m at work is a plus. I usually have 2.5 minutes to have something on the table before children are raiding the fridge on their own! The flavor was fabulous and I will definitely be making again. Most likely will go into our monthly rotation of recipes!

I made these for a large group this past week. It was so easy and so delicious! I will certainly be making them again soon…maybe even tomorrow night.
