Crock-Pot Chicken Ranch Tacos

I have made just chicken meat with taco seasoning before and found the flavoring to be a strong taco taste.  These come out with a milder flavor.

You can use either boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs or a combination of both if you would like both white meat and dark meat. And if you don’t have time to thaw your chicken, this recipe works with frozen chicken pieces too. Just add an additional hour of cooking time!

While I LOVE chicken tacos with all the toppings (shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, etc) this recipe is super versatile and works great in so many other recipes such as burritos, taco bowls, taco salad, tostadas, taquitos, quesadillas, enchiladas, etc.

Make a double batch and freeze the shredded taco chicken meat to use on those days when you are just too busy to think much about dinner!
