Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken Tacos

If you want juicy, flavorful chicken, just add salsa to your chicken breasts before they go in the slow cooker- that’s it!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lbs chicken breast
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • Toppings: Greek yogurt (or sour cream), cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, etc

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts in slow cooker, and pour salsa over the top. Set the slow cooker to low and let cook for 8 hours.
  2. Pull the chicken breasts out of the slow cooker, and using two forks, shred the meat. Add the shredded chicken breast back into the juices in the slow-cooker, and stir around. Then pull the meat back out and toss the juices.
  3. Warm black beans up on the stove and top with cheese and cilantro. If you like, warm the tortillas up for a minute to make them pliable.
  4. Next, fill your tacos. We used the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt (in place of sour cream), cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. Serve with black beans!
