Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 10 ounces Diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
Directions
Step 1
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot in an even layer.
Step 2
Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the chicken breasts.
Step 3
Pour the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the liquid) over the chicken.
Step 4
Add the chicken broth, lime juice, garlic powder, and onion powder to the crock pot, ensuring the chicken is coated in the mixture.
Step 5
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Step 6
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot. Mix it well to soak up the juices and seasoning.
Step 7
Serve the chicken taco meat immediately in tacos, burritos, or over a salad. Optionally, garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro.
