I have been trying to come up with a healthier way to cook chicken for my chicken tacos. Usually I cut it into strips and cook it in a skillet with oil, but it always comes out greasy and I don't really care for chunks of chicken in my taco. So after playing around a bit with different ingredients I came up with this recipe.
Now, there is nothing fancy to it, and you can add any spice you want to make it your own.
Chicken Tacos
2-4 Chicken breasts (more or less depending on how many people will be eating it...
4 made about 8 tacos for us)
1 Package of Ranch Dressing
1 Package of Taco Seasoning
1 Can of Chicken Broth
Water
Step 1: Dump chicken broth, ranch dressing powder, and taco seasoning powder into
crock pot and stir. (I have added some chili powder, cayenne pepper,
and salt/pepper too, just a pinch of each)
Step 2: Place frozen or thawed chicken breasts into crock pot.
Step 3: I have a large crock pot and one can of broth barely covers the bottom so I usually
add water until there is about 1/4 to 1/2 inches of water at the bottom. Cover and
cook!
Step 4: If frozen, cook on low for 6-8 hours. If thawed, cook on high for 3-4 hours.
When its done I usually take a fork and shred it :)
My finished product! And yes, I know there is a lot of sour cream...I love it!
Mine turned out pretty good. In fact I've been eating them for 4 days straight now! It's a good thing I really like tortillas....
