Slow Cooker Queso Chicken Tacos Fresh Slow Cooker Queso Chicken Tacos Sweet Little Bluebird



Ingredients









  • 2  pounds boneless
    skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 packet (1 ounce) of your favorite taco seasoning or use
    homemade

  • 10 ounce can of Rotel with lime juice and cilantro (you can
    use Original Rotel too, or use homemade Rotel – Tomatoes and Green Chilies)















  • 4 ounce can mild diced green chiles

  • 1/2  cup chicken broth

  • 3/4 cup salsa con queso 
    – use your favorite brand or use homemade

  • taco shells, hard or soft

  • favorite toppings – lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, onions,
    jalapenos, sour cream, guacamole, fresh lime, cilantro, hot sauce, queso





















Directions






  1. Lightly spray slow-cooker with non-stick cooking spray.

  2. Place chicken in single layer and sprinkle chicken evenly with
    taco seasoning. In a medium size bowl add Rotel, green chiles and chicken broth
    and mix well. Pour evenly over chicken.

  3. Cook on low for *6 to 8 hours, or on high for *4 to 6 hours.
    Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker, adjust accordingly. 

  4. When ready, drain excess liquids leaving just a smidgen
    behind (I use a soup ladle), then shred chicken using two forks. Last, spoon
    queso on top and gently mix with chicken, coating chicken evenly. Cover and
    cook on low for 20 minutes or until heated through. Serve with tortillas (hard
    or soft shell) and your favorite taco toppings. Enjoy!














Tips






  • *Adjust cooking time according to how fast or slow your
    cooker cooks – for some slow cookers, cooking on high, chicken may be ready in
    3-4 hours

  • Use the chicken for tacos, burritos, bowls and wraps.

  • I  purchased a jar of
    queso and used the leftover as a topping and for tortilla chips.

  • You can use original Rotel 
    or Rotel hot – this recipe is super easy to adapt to your taste if you
    like things spicy/hot.
