Slow Cooker 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!

    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?

    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.
