Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 chicken breasts or 6 thighs
  • 2 tbsp G&K taco seasoning (optional)
  • 2 cups salsa (chunky salsa is recommended)
  • ½ cup stock or water (optional – Note 1)
  • ½ onion (optional)
  • ½ red bell pepper (optional)
  • ½ green bell pepper (optional)

Instructions
 

  • If you are adding fresh vegetables, wash and dice the red and green peppers and peel and dice the onions.
    ½ onion, ½ red bell pepper, ½ green bell pepper
  • If you need to make your taco seasoning, make it now. 1 serving of G&K taco spice will suffice. You can incorporate the cornstarch for this recipe.
    2 tbsp G&K taco seasoning
  • Next, add the chicken to a crockpot. Then add the freshly diced veggies, taco seasoning and salsa. Stir as best as you can.
    3 chicken breasts or 6 thighs, 2 tbsp G&K taco seasoning, 2 cups salsa, ½ onion, ½ red bell pepper, ½ green bell pepper, ½ cup stock or water
  • Cover and cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, you can shred it using forks or a mixer.
  • Serve over rice, in a taco or a burrito.

Notes

Note 1: You need a minimum of 2 cups of salsa. If you want the chicken to be more saucy to serve over rice for example then add more salsa or the suggested stock. If you are serving the chicken in tacos or burritos the 2 cups of salsa is all you need so that it’s not too runny.
