Poach chicken. Place chicken in a saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F/74°C. I use the kitchen thermometer to check as overcooked chicken will be dry.

In a skillet, heat oil and sauté the onion until it’s soft and translucent (3 minutes).

Add the garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds. Add cumin, chilli powder, and salt. Cook for 1 more minute.

Crock Pot Chicken Tacos

chicken breasts (medium size)

oz Salsa (or RoTel)

Start with two medium-size skinless boneless chicken breasts. These can be fresh or thawed if frozen.

In a smaller crock pot, mix 1 cup of salsa or Rotel with 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.

Nestle the chicken breast into the crock pot and spread the mixture over the breasts.

Cook on low for 5 hours. About 4 hours into the cooking and if the chicken is 165°, remove the chicken breasts, place the chicken on a chopping board, and shred with forks. If not 165°, cook longer before shredding.

Mix the chicken back into the liquid. If there is too much liquid, remove some and leave the crock pot lid ajar to vent moisture. Add optional black beans or corn if used. Finish the 5 hours of cooking.

Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

low-sodium chicken broth (*

Italian Salad dressing (* or salsa)

lime juice

salt and black pepper (, to taste)

Place chicken breasts in your slow cooker.&nbsp;

In a small bowl whisk together the remaining ingredients and pour them over the chicken in the slow cooker.&nbsp;

Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 1/2 hours or LOW for about 5 hours.&nbsp;

Shred the chicken. Cook for 30 more minutes.

Serve chicken with tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, tostadas, burritos, taco salads etc.

For the Slow Cooker:

I like to use 1 cup of salsa instead of chicken broth and Italian dressing for the instant pot because I think the flavor holds up better under pressure. But either way will work!&nbsp;

Season the chicken with spices and place in the bottom of the instant pot. Cover with lime juice and salsa (or broth and Italian dressing). Cook on Manual (High Pressure) for 8 minutes. Quick release the pressure and carefully remove the lid.&nbsp;

Shred chicken, and serve in tortillas, with desired toppings.&nbsp;

For the Instant Pot:
