Chicken Tacos

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup Zesty Italian Salad dressing
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, optional, adjust according to desired heat preference or omit

Directions

  1. Add the chicken breast halves to the slow cooker. In a mixing bowl, whisk all of the remaining ingredients until combined, then pour the mixture over the chicken. Put the lid on the slow cooker.
  2. Cook the chicken on low for 5 – 6 hours. Pull the chicken apart into shreds, return it to the broth in the slow cooker, and continue cooking on low for 20 minutes more.
  3. Strain the broth away from the chicken. Serve the chicken warm in tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, taquitos, or whatever sounds good.
