This flavorful, low-maintenance dinner is a breeze to make for those busy days and perfect for meal prep! This Slow Cooker Chicken is easy to prepare in bulk, and the tender, shredded chicken can be used in a variety of meals throughout the week—whether in bowls, tacos, or wraps.
The recipe:
Add salsa, chicken breasts, taco seasoning, chicken broth, and diced red onion to your slow cooker. Stir everything together to coat the chicken evenly with the seasoning.
Set the slow cooker to medium-high and cook for 4-6 hours. The chicken should be tender and easy to shred.
Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Let it sit for 10 minutes to soak up all the flavors.
Serve the shredded chicken over rice and drizzle olive oil and sprinkle with chili powder for added flavor.
