Slow Cooker Mexican Pulled Chicken
Slow cooker Mexican pulled chicken uses super easy preparation to create extremely tender and juicy results much like you might find at authentic Mexican restaurants everywhere. This foolproof method transforms ordinary chicken into restaurant-quality pulled chicken through patient slow cooking and proper seasoning. The restaurant comparison reflects superior quality while the super easy approach makes authentic Mexican flavors accessible for home cooks wanting professional results.

This super easy recipe creates an extremely tender and juicy pulled chicken. Much like you might find at a Mexican restaurant with peppers and onions. As an addition, I have created this recipe to include corn and black beans. This is great as a taco and enchilada filler, or to be served over rice. This makes quite a bit, so you can try it different ways for variety! A great Friday night recipe to last the weekend! You can serve this topped with lettuce, sour cream, and cheese.
Ingredients
4 (5 ounce) frozen skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 (1 ounce) envelope taco seasoning mix
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
1 (12 ounce) package frozen corn
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 large green bell pepper, julienned
1 cup water
Directions
Place ingredients in the slow cooker in the following order: chicken, taco seasoning, black beans, salsa, corn, onion, bell pepper, and water.
Cook on Low until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 6 to 8 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Shred chicken with 2 forks.
Cook’s Notes:
Canned corn would work as well, just drain and rinse.
You can continue to cook on Low or Warm for a few hours after shredding, or until ready to eat!
