Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 10 ounces Diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot in an even layer.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the chicken breasts.
Pour the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the liquid) over the chicken.
Add the chicken broth, lime juice, garlic powder, and onion powder to the crock pot, ensuring the chicken is coated in the mixture.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot. Mix it well to soak up the juices and seasoning.
Serve the chicken taco meat immediately in tacos, burritos, or over a salad. Optionally, garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro.
