Ingredients
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade taco seasoning)
1 cup salsa (your preferred heat level)
½ cup chicken broth
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika
Juice of 1 lime
Taco shells or tortillas
Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, cilantro
Instructions
Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
Sprinkle taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and paprika over the chicken.
Pour salsa and chicken broth over the top.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
Once fully cooked, shred chicken using two forks directly in the crockpot.
Stir in lime juice and mix until chicken is well-coated in sauce.
Serve warm in taco shells or tortillas with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For spicier tacos, use hot salsa or add diced jalapeños.
Leftover chicken can be used in burritos, quesadillas, or taco salads.
To make it creamy, stir in a little cream cheese or sour cream after shredding the chicken.
Use chicken thighs for a juicier result if desired.
