Crock Pot Chicken Tacos: Effortless Flavor in Every Bite

Recipe Directions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot. Season with salt, pepper, and taco seasoning.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic on top of the chicken.
  3. Pour the salsa and chicken broth over the chicken.
  4. Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the crock pot, mixing it with the cooking liquid and onions for maximum flavor.
  6. Serve the shredded chicken in warm tortillas, topped with your favorite taco fixings.

How to Store Leftovers

If you happen to have any leftovers (though it’s rare because they’re so delicious!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm the chicken mixture in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, or microwave in 30-second intervals until warm.
