Shredded Mexican Chicken

Every time I make this, I am always surprised all over again at how delicious this chicken is.  It truly is maximum flavor with minimal effort.  I mean, like, five minutes of effort.  The crock pot does all the work for you.

If you want to have Mexican for dinner, this chicken is a super short cut.  This can be the filling for your tacos or burritos, or the topping for your nachos.  Add this to a bed of lettuce for a Mexican salad, or add some cheese and this can be the filling for a delicious quesadilla.  You could even put this on a bun and have a Mexican chicken sandwich.  Last night, I had this for dinner mixed with Spanish rice and black beans.  The options are endless!

Ingredients:

1.5 - 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast

20 oz salsa of your choice
Optional:  Taco Seasoning

Pour enough salsa into your slow cooker to cover the bottom.

Now place your chickens on top of the salsa...

Then add more salsa and stir around til chicken is covered.

Now allow the chicken to cook on low for 7-8 hours, or on high for 4.  Here's what it looks like after it's done:

Can't really tell much, but wait!  Get a couple of forks and start pulling the chicken apart.  It should shred very easily, and will look like THIS:

Perfect-o!  At this point, give it a taste. You can sprinkle in some taco seasoning if you'd like - totally up to you.  And now you're ready to use this chicken any way you want.  It really is super easy and good.  I hope you'll try it!
