Shredded Salsa Chicken in Crockpot

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. (These things happen when you’ve been high on cough drops all week.) 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.

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!

About Sallie’s Favorite Comfort Food Recipes

These are recipes I have enjoyed throughout my life – as a child, as a young woman, and now as a wife and mom. I am sharing them because they taste good and are relatively easy to make. They only require basic ingredients that most women will be able to easily find and afford. I encourage you to use the best ingredients your can afford for the best results. It really does make a tremendous difference in the quality of the final product.

For example, I only use King Arthur Unbleached Flour for regular baking. After some inexplicable failed results at long-time favorites, I no longer use store brand butter for any baking. I only use Land O’Lakes. The difference is substantial and can mean the difference between a high quality end product and a mess.
