Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 packet (30 g) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (30 g) taco seasoning mix
  • 1 cup (250 ml) chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)

For the Tacos:

  • 8–10 small flour or corn tortillas
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite)
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Sliced jalapeños (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken in the Slow Cooker:
    • Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
    • Sprinkle the ranch seasoning, taco seasoning, and garlic powder (if using) evenly over the chicken.
    • Pour the chicken broth and lime juice over the chicken.
  2. Cook:
    • Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
  3. Shred the Chicken:
    • Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
    • Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix it with the remaining juices for extra flavor.
  4. Assemble the Tacos:
    • Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
    • Fill each tortilla with the shredded chicken and top with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, and jalapeños if desired.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.

Notes

  • For an extra kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne to the slow cooker.
  • This recipe works great with chicken thighs for a juicier option.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
