Ingredients
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, not drained
- 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, not drained
- 1 cup diced onion (I use frozen diced onion as a shortcut)
- 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts or boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning (increase to 2 packets of seasoning for more flavorful, zestier chicken)
- Optional toppings for serving: tortillas or taco shells, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, avocado or guacamole, sour cream, fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, lime juice squeezed from fresh limes, sliced olives, sliced green onions, minced red onion, or quick pickled red onions
Instructions
- Place ½ of the tomatoes, half of the chilies, and half of the onion in the bottom of a slow cooker. Arrange the chicken on top.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the chicken. Add the remaining tomatoes, chilies, and onion on top.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours. Use two forks to shred the meat. Stir the shredded chicken back into the sauce and cook for a few more minutes, until warmed through.
