Delicious! I have to give credit where credit is due. My friend gave me this recipe and it was her mom's recipe. Where the original came from, I'm not sure but thank you Kara Orvin! This was delicious! I don't think you can get much easier than a 3 ingredient recipe. Here it goes.
Mexican Shredded Chicken:
3-4 frozen chicken breasts (I did 4 but I'm sure you could do even more)
1 package of taco seasoning
1 can of Rotel
Put all items in a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours.
I put this in the slow cooker at lunch today. You don't need to add water - the frozen chicken and the juices from the chicken make enough juice to keep it from sticking or overcooking. I always buy the bags of frozen chicken breasts so this is super convenient. I think you could easily use a can of diced tomatoes instead of Rotel if you didn't want the dish to be as spicy. I used original taco seasoning, but I saw chicken taco seasoning at Wal-Mart so I might try that next time and see if it is any different. By the time the slow cooker is done the chicken literally shreds itself. It is so good!
You could serve this with tacos as the taco meat. We actually ate it by itself as just a plain chicken breast and made a package of mexican rice to go with it. Either way you could make this into several different dishes. It's simple, inexpensive and depending on what you serve it with its healthy too! Not much more you can ask for!
