I've been on the search for recipes that are quick and easy and utilize a slow-cooker. With a new baby, it's hard sometimes to spend a lot of time prepping and cooking meals. And since we are on a reduced income for the next year, eating out is not always the best option!
I came across this recipe by chance and decided to give it a try. It turned out really well and makes a great filling for tacos or even quesadillas. We even used it to dip nacho chips in with salsa. The chicken has quite a bit of flavour!
Ingredients:
2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup salsa, plus more for serving
1 tbsp chilli powder
To fill your tacos:
taco shells or soft tortillas
1 cup grated cheese (use your favourite or a mix like cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, etc.)
fresh cilantro
sour cream
Directions:
1. Combine chicken, garlic, salsa and chilli powder in slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours (or 8 hours on low).
2. When chicken is ready, remove it from the slow cooker and place in a bowl or on a plate. Shred the chicken and combine with juices from slow cooker.
3. Fill your tacos/tortillas with shredded chicken, cheese, salsa, sour cream and your other favourite toppings.
Another way: These are great to make as quesadillas. Warm up your tortilla in a frying pan, flip it over and add the meat, cheese and other toppings. Fold the tortilla over or cover with another one and flip to heat through.
