Get ready for the easiest, most flavorful shredded chicken tacos you’ll ever make! Once the chicken is cooked, it shreds easily and tastes so good. It is a great taco protein! We have cooked this multiple times in our household for Taco Tuesday. Each time we try a little different spice or heat with the taco seasoning. We’ve also used this for parties and guests have loved it! Put together a topping station with this and ground beef options and you’re all set!
How to Keto/Low Carb/Slow Cook That Chicken:
Start by placing your chicken breasts right in the bottom of your slow cooker—no extra prep needed. Next, sprinkle a generous amount of taco seasoning over the chicken, letting all those bold spices sink in. Then, pour your favorite salsa right on top, making sure the chicken is completely coated in that saucy goodness.
Now, it’s time to let your slow cooker do the heavy lifting. Cook the chicken on low for 6–8 hours (perfect if you’re heading out for the day) or on high for 3–4 hours if you need dinner on the table faster. Once the chicken is tender and cooked through, grab two forks and shred it directly in the slow cooker, mixing it into the flavorful juices.
When it’s time to serve, load up tortillas or taco shells with this juicy, salsa-infused chicken and pile on your favorite toppings—think guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Dinner is done, and trust us, everyone’s coming back for seconds!
