Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Salsa (your preferred brand or homemade)
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your Crock Pot.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper evenly over the chicken.
Pour the salsa over the chicken, making sure it fully coats the pieces.
Cover the Crock Pot with its lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Remove the chicken from the Crock Pot and shred it using two forks. Set aside.
Whisk the sour cream into the salsa mixture in the Crock Pot until it’s well incorporated and creamy.
Return the shredded chicken to the Crock Pot, stirring to combine it with the creamy salsa sauce. Let it heat through on low for about 15 minutes.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, cover with the lid, and allow the cheese to melt for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Serve hot with your favorite sides, and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
