Easy Crockpot Chicken Tacos

You will need chicken to make chicken tacos. Specifically, you will want to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. That will make it easier to shred the chicken after you’ve cooked it.

You will also need chicken broth to make sure the chicken stays nice and juicy as it cooks. Then, use garlic powder, oregano, and onion powder to add flavor to the meat. But the inside of a taco is not all you need to worry about.

You also need to consider what you will be adding on top of your taco. Technically, this is still filling but it is the spot for more customization. The toppings are totally up to you.

You could use shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced avocado, and of course, cheese. This recipe is for the chicken, the star of the tacos. But how you build them is entirely up to you.

Just be sure you don’t forget the tortillas. We used flour tortillas, but you can use any type of tortillas you want. In fact, you can use this recipe to make burritos with soft flour tortillas.

But you can also make soft tacos, crunchy tacos, you can even make a taco bowl if that’s what you want. That’s one of the things that makes this recipe such a great one, there are plenty of delivery methods.

This isn’t a diet recipe either, which means the toppings can get a little crazy. Be sure to go with what you love and remember, there is no added fee for extra guac or sour cream.

Directions

Place all ingredients into your crockpot and cook on low for approximately 5 1/2 hours or on high for approximately 3 1/2 hours. If the chicken is frozen you will need to add cooking time.

When the chicken is done cooking, shred the chicken with a fork. This shredded chicken can be used on tacos or in salads. You can serve it cold or warm.

Top with tomatoes and taco toppings of your choice.  Shredded cheese is an optional topping for those that are not on a dairy-free diet as is topping with sour cream.
