SLOW-COOKER SHREDDED CHICKEN TACOS from Sweet Little Bluebird

With just a few ingredients and little effort, let your slow-cooker do most of the work.

Mix your ingredients in a medium size bowl – chicken broth, can of rotel and taco seasoning…

Place chicken breasts in a single layer then pour the mixture over top. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 4 to 6 hours. Cooking times will vary with different slow-cookers, adjust time according to your cooker.

When the chicken is ready, shred it right in the slow-cooker. You can remove some of the juice if you like, or just leave it in the cooker. I like the chicken to remain in the juice and use a fork to serve the chicken.

Serve your tacos or burritos with your favorite toppings. Fresh lime and cilantro is ALWAYS a must-have when I make this for dinner. This time, no fresh cilantro, I forgot to grab it at the store. Boo. Thankfully there is some in the can of Rotel.

Serve the tacos and/or burritos with corn, rice, beans, chips and salsa…and for the adults, maybe even a margarita!

Tips

This recipe is not spicy if you use Rotel with lime juice and cilantro. For a spicier version, I recommend using Original Rotel with diced green chilies. You can also add other spices to kick up the heat. This recipe is versatile and easy to adapt to your taste.
