Last night as I was about to go to bed, I realized I had a package of boneless chicken breasts that was dated that day. I decided to just quickly clean them and throw them in the crockpot overnight to make shredded chicken. I will use the shredded chicken in quesadillas, enchiladas, tortilla soup, etc.

I looked online for inspiration and came up with this concoction. It is easy and works very well.

Shredded Salsa Chicken in Crockpot

Ingredients

• 6 boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Pace picante sauce
• 2-3 TBSP of homemade taco seasoning mix
• 1 cup water
• Salt to taste*

Directions

1. Put chicken breasts in crockpot. Sprinkle the taco seasoning and salt on the chicken breasts. Pour in water and top off with picante sauce.
2. Cook on low overnight or for eight hours.
3. Remove to jelly roll pan and begin pulling apart.
4. Allow to cool slightly and then finish shredding.
5. Freeze in one cup portions in sandwich bags.

*If you don’t make homemade taco seasoning, you can use store bought packages. You could then eliminate the salt. I added salt because my seasoning mix doesn’t have salt.

Enjoy!
