Not the most appealing picture and I apologize for that one. I was just too dang hungry I had to eat first 😂
This recipe is delicious and I’ll definitely make it again!
Here’s what you need!
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 ounce packet of favorite taco seasoning or use homemade
- 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel (diced tomatoes and greed chiles) or use salsa
- ¾ cup salsa con queso (use your favorite or use homemade)
Optional Ingredients
- ½ cup chicken broth optional
- 1 can (4 ounces) mild diced green chiles optional
Making Tacos
- taco shells, soft or hard
- favorite taco toppings lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, hot sauce and more
Instructions
- Lightly spray slow-cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place chicken in single layer and sprinkle chicken evenly with taco seasoning. In a medium size bowl add Rotel, green chiles and chicken broth and mix well. Pour evenly over chicken.
- Cook on low for *6 to 8 hours, or on high for *3 to 5 hours. Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker, adjust accordingly.
- When ready, drain excess liquids leaving just a smidgen behind (I use a soup ladle), then shred chicken using two forks. DRAIN WELL! IMPORTANT STEP!! Be sure to remove the majority of the liquid BEFORE adding queso!! Leaving behind too much liquid will result is watery chicken.
- Last, spoon queso on top and gently mix with chicken, coating chicken evenly. Cover and cook on low for 20 minutes or until heated through.
- Serve with tortillas (hard or soft shell) and your favorite taco toppings. Enjoy!
