Recipe: Easy Crockpot Chicken Tacos

When it is a busy day I love it when I can stick something in the crockpot and come home to a house that smells amazing and dinner nearly ready to put on the table.  I really don’t know where I got this recipe from but I have been making it for years and love it because it is easy and tastes great too.

Easy Crockpot Chicken Tacos:

1 to 2 lbs Skinless Chicken Breasts (you could use thighs but our family prefers the white meat)

1 cup Salsa (add more if you like salsa)

1 package Taco Seasoning (optional)

1 can Black Beans (optional)

1 can Corn (optional)

Chips or Tortillas

Place the chicken in the crockpot and add the salsa on top.  Cook on low for 6 hours.  About 30 minutes before you are ready to eat drain any extra liquid, break up the chicken into smaller pieces (I use a fork and pull the pieces apart).  If you want, stir in  the package of Taco Seasoning, Black Beans, and Corn (sometimes I will add fresh tomatoes as well).

We usually have chips and make a Chicken Taco Salad or tortillas.  Add the meat and toppings (shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream) and enjoy!
