Ingredients
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle half of the taco seasoning over the top, flip the chicken, and season the other side with the remaining seasoning.
Pour the salsa and Rotel over the chicken, then add the sliced onions. Gently stir so the chicken is covered in the sauce.
Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours, until the chicken is tender, juicy, and shreds easily with a fork.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and shred it with two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it into the warm sauce. For even more flavor, switch the slow cooker to "Warm" and let the chicken soak in the sauce for 20–30 minutes before serving.
Assemble tacos by warming tortillas in a dry skillet and loading them with the shredded chicken and your favorite toppings.
