Hello, my friends and followers. Today I am sharing with you one of the easiest and most delicious recipes to make in a crock pot. Whenever a friend asks me for a crock pot recipe this is the first one I suggest. This recipe was first given to me by a friend that I worked with long ago and I have changed it just slightly to add more flavor. It is still one of the best and easiest recipes to make, especially if you are short on time and you want to let something slow cook while are busy running errands.
What Goes In Crock Pot Chicken Tacos?
For this recipe, only three ingredients go in the crock pot, unless you decide to make your own seasoning and salsa by hand. However, doing that takes the easy part out of this recipe! All you need to make these yummy chicken tacos is chicken breasts, taco seasoning and some salsa.
A Few Instructions
First you wash your chicken breasts and pat them dry. Lay them down in the crock pot. It’s best if they are not stacked on top of each other, but if you have to make sure that you season the chicken breasts on the bottom before placing more on top. Lightly sprinkle some taco seasoning on the chicken breasts and then pour salsa on top of them. If you have stacked them, make sure to also put salsa on the bottom layer before adding another layer on top.
Make sure that you have placed enough salsa in the crockpot to cover the chicken breasts completely. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. This time will vary depending on your crock pot and the amount of chicken you placed in it.
*Note: You do not need to use the entire packet of taco seasoning. If you use too much, the chicken could come out too salty.
After that, you just get your taco stuff ready and load up the tacos. Enjoy!
