Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

Sharing is caring!

Ready or not school has started! At least for many families it certainly has. I know that for many families, that also means lots of chaos and craziness, getting back into a routine. This meal is the perfect solution for those kinds of days. Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos is a “toss it and forget it” kind of recipe that takes just a couple minutes to prepare as your slow cooker does all the rest of the work for you.

To begin, place 1 1/2 lb of boneless skinless chicken – you can use either breasts or thighs – in your slow cooker. On top of those, sprinkle a tablespoon each of chili powder, ancho chile powder and cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. You’ll also need three cloves of garlic, grated. (Or use the short cut grated garlic in a tube!)

Over the top of this, you’ll pour a 14 ounce can of tomato sauce. That’s it! Cover and cook on low for 5 – 6 hours.

Simply shred the chicken by pulling it apart with two forks.

Serve it on tortillas (or in taco shells) with whatever toppings you like on a taco. (Shredded lettuce, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, etc.)

Enjoy!
