Crock-Pot Taco Chicken Bowls
This recipe is so easy and I love that you can also make it into a freezer meal so that you can have dinner in the slow cooker in a jiffy!
I serve the chicken over some cooked brown or white rice. But if you are watching your carbs you can just eat this as is.
The chicken in this recipe is nice and tender and not too spicy when you use a mild salsa. If you want to kick up the spice factor use a medium or hot salsa…whatever brand you like.
The spice mixture you make up and sprinkle on the chicken adds another flavor dimension that I really like.
Enjoy!

I think the recepise you put on facebook are truely easy to prepare, and look great, I love cooking in my crockpot, do it when ever I get the chance. love using it for deserts also.
When is the corn supposed to go into the crock pot? Do you put it in at the beginning or toward the end? Also, why do you cube your chicken? Couldn’t you just put whole chicken breasts (or whatever) in and shred later? Or would that increase the cooking time?
I made this last night during a snow storm. This is just what we needed. Good and hearty!
Thanks for this recipe. My son loved it and actually had seconds. Big win.
This was really good! I added lime and salt to the rice and used Monterey jack cheese. Yum! Thanks for the recipe!
Just tried and is easy to put together and very good my husband said real good so that means it can be made again. A Zero Points food.
So glad to hear that you and your husband enjoyed the recipe Debbie!
Do you use diced or shredded chicken?
Hi Jasmine, this recipe calls for 1.5 pounds of raw chicken that is then shredded after it has cooked. I just edited the recipe to remove the part about using chicken that has been cut up into bite sized pieces. I am not sure how that got in there! Although, you could cut the raw chicken up into bite sized pieces before putting them in the slow cooker and just skip the shredding part. Either way will work fine.
