Ingredients
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
1 cup diced tomatoes with habaneros (such as RO*TEL® Hot)
1 cup finely chopped onion
½ cup finely chopped celery
½ cup shredded carrot
1 cup prepared salsa
¼ cup water
Directions
Put chicken into the crock of a slow cooker. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the chicken. Layer diced tomatoes with habaneros, onion, celery, and carrot over the chicken, respectively; top with salsa. Pour water over the entire mixture.
Cook on Low until the chicken is easily shreddable, 6 to 8 hours. An instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Shred the chicken with 2 forks and stir with the salsa mixture.
Cook’s Note
This is great for filling tacos and burritos or even as the meat for a tortilla soup. For a low-carb option, just serve in a bowl, similar to a stew, and top with grated cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and chopped scallions. Use your imagination to create other menu ideas.
