Easy slow cooker chicken tacos
Cook time: 10 minutes + 4 hours
Serves: 6-8
Family friendly
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5C salsa (mild, medium, or scorching hot)
- 1/4C water
- 12-16 small tortillas (white, whole wheat, or corn)
Optional healthy toppings:
- Black beans
- Salsa
- Corn
- Avocado
- Plain Greek yogurt
Preparations:
- Coat a large crock pot with nonstick cooking spray. Then, place chicken breasts inside crock-pot and top with salsa and water. Close lid and let cook on high for about 4 hours or on low for about 8 hours.
- Once the chicken is tender and fully cooked (you can check by slicing a chicken breast in half), use 2 forks to shred the chicken. I like to shred the chicken outside of the crock pot on a large plate. Once you’ve shredded the chicken place back in the crockpot and mix in juices. Let cook for about 10 more minutes.
- Dress your tacos with slightly warm tortillas, low fat cheese, black beans, and salsa (or any other topping you prefer!).
