Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

Step 1

PREP & COOK THE CHICKEN: Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix together chicken broth, salsa, taco seasoning, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, chili powder, pepper, cumin, and paprika. Pour the mixture over the chicken.

Step 3

Cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 1½ - 2 hours until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreddable. The chicken needs to reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Step 4

Once cooked, shred the chicken in the pot. Allow the chicken to absorb the flavors for an additional 15-20 minutes on low heat in the slow cooker before serving.

Step 5

MAKE CILANTRO LIME DRESSING: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, lime juice, chopped cilantro, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 6

Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences, adding more lime juice or salt if needed.

Step 7

ASSEMBLE THE TACOS: Warm the tortillas and serve the shredded chicken on them with a drizzle of the cilantro lime dressing, as well as your favorite toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
