The ABSOLUTE BEST Crock-Pot Shredded Chicken recipe!
I found this recipe somewhere on the internet years ago and it has proven to be amazing!!! I use the shredded chicken in burritos, tostadas, on top of rice, the meals are endless!
Ingredients:
2 lbs chicken breasts (I cook more to use for leftovers!)
*Note: I put these in my crockpot completely frozen, no need to defrost!
*Note: I put these in my crockpot completely frozen, no need to defrost!
1 (16 ounce) jar medium hot salsa (enough salsa to cover the chicken)
2 Serrano peppers, chopped
6 garlic cloves, pressed
1 packet McCormick taco seasoning
* You can also add 1 can of diced green chillies for a little more flavor!
(Or even onions, feel free to play around with different spices/veggies)
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in crock pot and cook for 6-7 hours (on "high").
To shred chicken, remove from crock pot and use 2 forks to pull apart (Note: I like to shred the chicken and then put it back into the crock pot for another hour or so to soak up all the juices).
Enjoy!
