A crock pot is like a best friend: it is easy to get along with, it does not need a lot of attention, it does not make a mess, and then it is always ready for you. Check out this easy breezy recipe.
I love a good crock pot recipe!! It is so nice to just throw everything in the pot, stir a few times, and VOILA, a hot dinner is served! “Taco” night is one of my favorite nights.. so my friend, Jenna, shared this recipe with my a little while back. I think it may be impossible to mess up.
{Time} 15 mins to prep — cook in crockpot for 4-5 on high or 8 hours on low
{Amount} 4 servings
{Ingredients}
- 6 boneless chicken breasts
- 1 jar salsa (mine was 15.5 oz and medium heat)
- 1 package McCormick Taco Seasoning (less sodium)
- Tortillas, hard tacos, or low carb wraps (I use these for a healthy alternative)
{Time} 15 mins to prep- cook in crock pot or slow cooker for 4-8 hours
{Amount} 4 servings
1. Clean chicken and place in crock-pot.
2. Pour salsa and taco mix over chicken; make sure chicken is smothered in sauce.
3. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours. Stir every few hours if possible. After a few hours of cooking, I take two forks and gently shred the chicken. If it doesn’t pull apart easily, it is not ready to be shredded yet. You can shred chicken right before eating.
{Optional Toppings}
Sour cream
Quac
Lettuce
Cheese
I got these adorable green and red mini bowls for $1.50 from the Anthropologie Sale that is currently taking place!
{DISCLAIMER} The mom in me feels compelled to say, I am not recommending that you leave the crock pot unattended for a day… however, it is nice coming home to a cooked meal!
I hope you enjoy this ridiculously simple recipe. If you have a fun slow cooker recipe, please share!
Keep in touch,
Dani
