I got this recipe awhile back from my sister Beth over on Life Is a Run, and this is seriously the tastiest, easiest healthy crockpot chicken recipe that I’ve stumbled upon. Beth even has the nutrition facts on her post. I keep a jar of my own, homemade Taco Seasoning in the pantry; I make it using this recipe that is super easy and very handy to have around. I also used my own homemade chicken broth; I know what you’re thinking, I’m fancy….but really I’m not!
Easiest Healthy Crockpot Chicken
4 chicken breasts
chicken broth
taco seasoning
I don’t really measure out this recipe because it is that easy. First I clean the chicken breasts, though I used organic chicken breasts so there wasn’t much fat to remove. I placed the chicken in the bottom of the crockpot. Then I covered the chicken breasts with taco seasoning. When I added the broth I kind of messed up that good coating on the chicken breast.
You really need to cover the chicken breasts with the broth, I know here it doesn’t look like I did, but I added in more. Once the chicken is covered you just set the timer for 8 hours on low.
An hour before it was ready I shredded it and let it cook like that. If you aren’t home while this is cooking just come in and shred it and let it sit in the broth until you’re ready to serve it.
This chicken is so versatile it can be used any number of ways. I’ve used it in enchiladas, tacos and even served over rice. It would also be great chicken to use in Taco Soup.
What is nice about this recipe, like most crockpot recipes, the chicken reheats really well. The night I cooked it, I had the chicken over wild rice with some steamed veggies:
Tomorrow I’ll probably have it in whole wheat tortillas as tacos.
