Servings: 6 4 oz portions
Calories: 191kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup salsa you can use red or green salsa, but I prefer red
- Juice of 2 limes - optional
- 1/2 cup chicken broth low or no salt or water
Instructions
- Place your chicken breasts in your crockpot insert. Cover the chicken with seasonings. Place salsa on top of chicken. Sprinkle lime juice on top (optional)
- Add chicken broth to the crockpot insert. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours (recommended!) or high for 3-4 hours. We don’t recommend cooking on high, chicken breasts are better cooked low and slow!
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crockpot and shred with 2 forks on a cutting board or you can use a stand mixer or hand mixer (don’t use a hand mixer directly in your crockpot as it can chip the enamel).
- Return the chicken to the crockpot insert to soak up the juices.
- Serve with your favorite taco toppings.
