Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned diced tomatoes with chilies drained (or one 10-ounce can Rotel)
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ onion finely diced
  • 1 ounce taco seasoning or 2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning
  • 1 cup salsa

Instructions

  • Blend together the salsa, diced tomatoes with chilies, and taco seasoning until well combined. Arrange the diced onion and chicken breasts at the base of the slow cooker, then pour the prepared tomato mixture evenly over the top. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender. Remove the chicken, shred it using two forks, then return it to the slow cooker and fold it into the flavorful juices. Serve immediately in taco shells, atop salads, pizzas, or spooned generously over a bed of rice.

Notes

If desired, omit the canned tomatoes and substitute with 1½ cups of salsa. Nutritional details exclude taco shells and additional toppings.
