Servings: 6 4 oz portions
Calories: 191kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup salsa you can use red or green salsa, but I prefer red
- Juice of 2 limes - optional
- 1/2 cup chicken broth low or no salt or water
Instructions
- Place your chicken breasts in your crockpot insert. Cover the chicken with seasonings. Place salsa on top of chicken. Sprinkle lime juice on top (optional)
- Add chicken broth to the crockpot insert. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours (recommended!) or high for 3-4 hours. We don’t recommend cooking on high, chicken breasts are better cooked low and slow!
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crockpot and shred with 2 forks on a cutting board or you can use a stand mixer or hand mixer (don’t use a hand mixer directly in your crockpot as it can chip the enamel).
- Return the chicken to the crockpot insert to soak up the juices.
- Serve with your favorite taco toppings.

Notes
Swap the tortillas for lettuce wraps or serve the shredded chicken over brown rice, white rice, or cauliflower rice!
This recipe can be made with chuck roast for shredded beef tacos or for pulled pork using a pork shoulder or pork roast!
Mild, Medium, or Spicy salsa will work great in this recipe.
