This simple 3-ingredient recipe comes in handy for taco night, especially since you can make this ahead of time and freeze it. The chicken filling can also be used on nachos, in burritos, on salads, or anywhere you want a little chicken taco flavor.

ingredients
1 envelope taco seasoning mix
1 cup chicken broth
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
directions
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the taco seasoning mix and broth.
Place the chicken in the crock pot. Pour the broth mixture evenly over the chicken. Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4 hours or until the chicken is cooked.
Remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred it with two forks or cut into bite-sized pieces. Return the chicken to the crock pot and stir to coat in the juices.
Use immediately or place the meat and liquid from the crock pot in zip-top freezer bags. Press out the air and seal. Freeze for up to 6 months.

My crockpot cooks faster so I cook this on low for 5 hours. I then shred the chicken and put back into the crock for about an hour while I get other ingredients ready for tacos. I then serve the shredded taco chicken on tortillas with whatever we want (usually refried beans shredded lettuce tomatoes etc).

I sliced the chicken and cooked it on low for only about 4 to 5 hours and then added cooked rice to make it kind of a taco chicken rice.

We really really liked this recipe. We are gluten-free, and this made a real treat for us, using either corn tacos or gluten-free tortillas.

I have made this many times and it's SO EASY. I love the taste of chicken tacos for something different. I had this recipe from another source, but had misplaced it. Thanks for posting it.
