Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

This recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos is SO easy and SO good. Nothing beats a great chicken taco. Crock pot cooking makes this one a cinch to make. Plus, the texture of the chicken is tender and juicy. Take two forks and you will easily have mounds of shredded chicken. Tacos require very little kitchen prep time and clean up. (I love that!) And I’m guessing you will probably have most of the ingredients in your stockpile.

Easy Mexican Chicken Recipes

I’m a huge fan of easy Mexican chicken recipes like this one, and I promise–once you put this in your slow cooker in the morning, you will look forward to it all day.

Along with tons of topping options (like green and black olives, onions, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, jalapenos, and banana peppers) I serve these with Spanish rice and black beans on the side.

    I use chicken stock, instead of of salsa. Our boys don’t like tomatoes so I slow cook the chicken and they can add what they want. When I need shredded chicken for non tacos, I leave out the taco mix and just pepper the chicken. I don’t salt until it done since the stock can have salt in it. The stock really brings out the flavor of the chicken. Typically, I use 5 lbs of chicken and a box of stock.

    I make this often. 3-4 chicken breasts will feed about 4 -5eople. I also add 1 cup of sour cream and turn to warm for the last 30 min of cooking.

    Just made this last night. So easy to make and tastes so good! I’m never browning chicken again for taco and enchilada fillers!

    What size jar of salsa should I use? Thank you.

      A standard 15 oz size it what I use. If you have more/larger chicken breasts, I would do a larger jar of salsa – it just adds more liquid.

    Can I cook on high for less time, or does that dry out the chicken?

    Thanks so much for this recipe! It was awesome, especially with the guacamole I whipped up in my Vitamix to go with it!

    So easy. I’ll definitely make it again!
