Crockpot Chicken Tacos Recipe
Description
The recipe places frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts in a crockpot, seasoned with taco spice mix and topped with salsa. Slow cooking on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours yields cooked chicken that easily shreds, soaking up flavors from the salsa and seasoning. Using salsa adds moisture and gentle acidity.
Once shredded, this chicken works well in tacos with preferred toppings. It can also be served on its own, over rice, folded into quesadillas, or wrapped in wonton wrappers for varied meals.
The ease of using frozen chicken directly in the crockpot simplifies meal prep, and the versatile flavored shredded chicken suits multiple serving ideas.
Ingredients
- 3-4 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1 cup salsa (we used picante)
- 1 Tablespoons taco seasoning (we used homemade)
Instructions
- In a crockpot, place chicken breasts (frozen) in the bottom
- Sprinkle with the seasoning.
- Top with the salsa
- Cook on low for 6 hours, or high for 3 hours.
- Shred the chicken and serve with your favorite taco toppings
Notes
- The shredded chicken is versatile and can be used not only for tacos but also as a main dish, over rice, in quesadillas, or in wonton wrappers.
