Recipe # 19 Day 19

Day 19 of 30
Soft Shredded Chicken Tacos

If you ever wondered how Mexican restaurants make their chicken so tender, THIS IS HOW ! I will never "bake" chicken again. Using a slow cooker all day makes chicken so incredibly tender, its amazing. We fixed our tacos up with soft flour tortillas, topped with chicken and sprinkle shredded mexican blend cheese on top. Microwave for 20-30 seconds until cheese is melted. Top with shredded lettuce, black olives and a little bit of ranch dressing.
They were wonderful and super easy & fast. I served VIGO black rice on the side, this is one of our favorites.

3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 pkg. taco seasoning mix
1 large container of chicken broth
taco toppings (cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, olives, any kind of dressing, etc.)

Put chicken breasts in bottom of slow cooker. Sprinkle chicken with taco seasoning on both sides. Pour chicken broth over top till chicken is covered. Cook on LOW all day.
Take chicken out of slow cooker and shred. Serve with soft flour tortillas and your favorite toppings.

thanks Judy for this idea.

Bon' Appetit'
