3 Ingredient Shredded Chicken Breast Recipe In Crockpot

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: skinless chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: whole chicken

Skinless thighs are more flavorful and juicy, while a whole chicken can be more economical.

Season the chicken breasts with taco seasoning, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the slow cooker.

Pour the tato salsa over the chicken breasts.

Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook for 6 hours until the chicken is falling apart tender.

After 6 hours, check the chicken; it should be moist and have absorbed the sauce.

Shred the chicken using forks or an electric mixer, allowing it to soak up the sauce as you shred it.

Serve the shredded chicken on tacos or tostadas, optionally adding sour cream, pickled jalapenos, and lime juice.

For a creamy texture, mix in chive and onion cream cheese or shredded cheese, avoiding yellow cheddar.

Serve with vegetables like cucumbers or rice on the side.
