Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breasts about 3 large breasts
- 1 ounce packet low sodium taco seasoning
- 1 ounce jar chunky salsa
- 1 large bag your favorite tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 2 Sliced Jalapenos seeded
- 1 large tomato diced
- 1 cup guacamole
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup Queso cheese
- sliced limes for serving
Instructions
- Season the chicken with taco seasoning and place in a crockpot.
- Pour salsa over the chicken. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5.
- Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F before removing it from the crockpot.
- Shred the chicken with 2 forks while still in the crockpot. It will be juicy, that’s ok, it will mix well!
- Spread tortilla chips out over a serving tray, a large sheet pan works great for this. You can also use a large charcuterie board or serving platter.
- Top with the shredded chicken followed by shredded cheese. (Note: The hot chicken will melt the cheese, but you can also heat the pan in your oven at 350°F for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted if needed.)
- Once the cheese is melted, top with jalapenos, tomato, olives, and a few dollops of guacamole and sour cream. Drizzle queso over top and serve immediately with sliced limes.

Notes
- Drain extra liquid: Strain out some of the extra juices before adding the chicken to the tortilla chips if needed.
- Store leftovers separately: Do not store the shredded chicken with the chips or they will become soggy. Store the crockpot chicken in a separate container and add it to the chips when reheating.
- Try crockpot liners: For easy cleanup, consider using a liner in your crockpot.
