Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ⅛ cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon dried oregano
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 taco-sized flour tortillas (or hard taco shells)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomato
- Optional toppings (sour cream, salsa, taco sauce, hot sauce, etc)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken broth to a 4-quart slow cooker crockpot, then add the chicken.
- Sprinkle half the seasoning on the chicken and flip it over. Then add the remaining seasoning on top of the chicken.
- Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
- Once it’s ready, use two forks to shred the chicken inside the slow cooker. Be careful because the pot is hot.
- Stir to combine with the juices. If there is too much liquid for your liking, drain some off using a colander. Try to leave some liquid with the chicken for better flavor.
- Serve the chicken in the taco shells with the shredded cheddar, shredded lettuce, and diced tomato.
- Add any other favorite chicken taco toppings you prefer.
