How to make Simple Crock Pot Taco Chicken
First cut 3 1/2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs into 1 to 2 inch pieces.
The chicken thighs are cheaper than chicken breasts, plus sooooo much more flavorful and juicy.
Then add a diced onion, minced garlic, 2 taco seasoning packets, a little kosher salt, and pepper.
Plus two tablespoons of chicken base like Better Than Bouillon and just a little water.
Then give it a stir.
And turn your Crock Pot slow cooker to low for 6 to 8 hours.
Or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
Shred the chicken with two fork right in the slow cooker.
They are already in bite size pieces, so this isn’t 100% necessary, but I do prefer the smaller bits after shredding.
Simple Crock Pot Taco Chicken is sure to make the BEST chicken tacos around town 🙂
I served this at my grandson’s birthday party as part of the taco bar.
So yummy and not your average, boring chicken for tacos!
