CROCK POT CHICKEN TACOS

I know that I've said other recipes are easy to make but, honestly, it doesn't get any easier than this.  We made tacos out of this chicken meat, although would be delicious as a salad, in a quesadilla, or on a plate of nachos. Oooh... I bet it would be amazing over a baked potato with some green onions, sour cream, and cheddar cheese.




Crock Pot Chicken Tacos

Ingredients: 
  • 2-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet of taco seasoning mix
  • 1 16oz jar (or ~2 cups) of salsa OR 2 cups of homemade salsa
  • additional ingredients to make tacos or a salad, your preference: 
    • tortilla shells, bowl, or chips
    • lettuce
    • tomatoes
    • cheddar cheese, shredded
    • sour cream
    • guacamole
Directions:
  • Place chicken in bottom of crock pot
  • Mix taco seasoning and salsa together in a separate bowl and then pour over the chicken
  • Cover and cook for 6 hours on low or 3 hours on high
  • Shred chicken with a fork and return back into crock pot with remaining salsa for ~10-30 minutes prior to serving
I quickly whipped together a bowl of guacamole and used it to spread on the bottom of the tortilla shell then topped with chicken, shredded cheese and lettuce (husband added sour cream).  We used the remaining guacamole with tortilla chips as our "side dish" for the evening. It is Friday night, after all! YUM!
