Crock Pot Shredded Chicken Tacos


This is a Crock Pot recipe keeper. Excellent flavor and so moist, the chicken could almost shred itself.

Ingredients:
  • 4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 {16 oz} jar of salsa {more for topping, if desired}
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • fajita or soft taco size tortillas
  • mexican blend shredded cheese
  • cilantro
Other topping ideas: sour cream, tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, salsa
  1. Combine chicken breasts, salsa, lime juice, chili powder, salt and pepper in Crock Pot. Blend together to cover chicken breasts evenly.
  2. Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours.
  3. Transfer to large serving bowl and shred, using two forks. Moisten with cooking juices. {Or, just shred in slow cooker}.
  4. Serve in tortillas with desired toppings.
Enjoy!

{Tip!} If cooking with only one jar of salsa and you want extra for topping, use less salsa in Crock Pot and set aside extra to serve. It's still just as tasty!
{Double Tip!} Use the leftover chicken to make enchiladas, burritos, taco salad, nachos or soup!
