Slow Cooker Favorites


Today I am making one of my favorite slow cooker recipes, Chicken Tacos. It is so easy and tasty and that is why I love it. You take 1 packet of taco seasoning and put it into the slow cooker bowl. Then you add one cup of water to dissolve. You add one package of boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (depending on your preference) and cover with one jar of your favorite salsa. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, stirring it and shredding the chicken every couple of hours if possible. Put it in taco shells and voila, you have chicken tacos. I love using the slow cooker whenever possible, especially if I have a long day out of the house or have a lot of cleaning to do. What is one of your favorite slow cooker recipes?

  3. Ooh, I'll have to try this one! Have you tried freezing the cooked product at all? I know a whole package of chicken tends to be way too much for my family.

  4. Young and Fabulous-I may have to get that recipe from you...it sounds really good. Kate-I have never frozen it but it does make leftovers. I use it to make chicken quesadillas the next day.
