Crockpot Shredded Chicken Tacos
Equipment
- Crockpot
Materials
- 2-4 boneless skinless chicken breast it's okay if they are frozen
- 2 TBSP homemade taco seasoning (or 1 packet store bought)
- 1 Jar salsa
- 4 oz cream cheese
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts, jar of salsa, and taco seasoning in the crockpot. Cook on low for 4-6 hours (the cooking time depends on if your chicken breasts are frozen or not). You can also throw in frozen chicken breasts and cook on high for the same amount of time.
- Just before eating, shred chicken using 2 forks. I don't take the chicken out of the crockpot, just shred them right inside it. You should have some juice in there from the salsa and the chicken. You can also use a hand mixer to shred your meat. It makes for the perfect shredded meat! I just always use 2 forks because I don't like digging my hand mixer out.
- Add in cream cheese and give it a good stir until all the cream cheese is melted. I like to cut the cream cheese into small cubes before adding it to the crockpot so it melts faster.
- Serve in hard or soft taco shells with your favorite toppings! Make a side of Spanish rice and some black beans and you have a complete easy tacos meal that your entire family will love on those busy nights.
