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}
{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!

Lately, I am keen of a “modern meets farmhouse” look for my home. Several coffee tables that I adore come from Crate and Barrel, costing anywhere from $500 up to $1,000. I bought an Ikea coffee table a few years ago and was tired of staring at the plain piece of furniture. I adore rustic wood or barn-wood inspired coffee tables so I looked around for ideas on how I could upgrade my coffee table. The Ikea coffee table is on sale right now for 20 bucks (mine has held up great), so you can get this whole look for around $50… sounds a little better than spending $500 to me. This is what my husband and I came up with.
