Crockpot Chicken Taco Meat

Crockpot recipes are always so ugly.

There. I said it.

I guess this one turned out ok, but generally, as a rule of thumb, they aren’t the prettiest ones on the block.

Even though this is a true statement, crockpot recipes always seem to be the most delicious. Funny how that works. Brown food tastes good and crockpots create brown food.

So there you have it. My deep thoughts for this Friday morning.

In other news, my daughter has had the last two days off of school for parent-teacher conferences and both my husband and I are going crazy. We love our children dearly {most of the time} {just kidding Mom; we love them all the time} but are grateful for the teachers, bus drivers, friends and other people who take them off our hands for 8 hours a day.

Heaven help us get our work slash anything else accomplished this weekend.

PS- our babysitter is out of town, adding insult to injury. It is not the best. Margaret, if you’re reading this, send help.

And, in case you’re wondering, Brooke is sailing through 2nd grade like a pro. Responsible, friendly, trustworthy, a good student who seems to excel at everything, etc. etc.. Her teacher gave her a glowing review.

She is setting the bar high for her brothers.

ANYWAYS, here are the few photos I snapped of prepping this recipe. Be warned that it is ridiculously easy. And I didn’t add any finished product recipes because it was ugly.

Here’s how to make it:

Place 4 frozen chicken breasts into a cold crockpot.

Sprinkle in 1 packet of taco seasoning,

1 can of diced green chiles,

and some salsa. Simple enough, right?

Cover and cook on high until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and easy to shred. Remove any questionable pieces {fat, cartilage, etc.} and place back into the crockpot with the cooking liquid. Cover to keep warm and serve in tacos, quesadillas, on a salad, or wherever your little heart desires.

That’s it! Not the prettiest recipe in the world, but certainly the easiest!
