What you need:
- 1 packet taco seasoning (chicken or regular)
- 3 frozen chicken breasts (I used thawed chicken tenderloins)
- Pico de Gallo (recipe follows)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water*
- Tortillas
- Toppings: cheese, sour cream, etc.
Directions:
- Pour seasoning on the bottom of crockpot.
- Place chicken over seasoning.
- Pour fresh pico de gallo over the top of chicken.
- Pour oil and water over the top - DON'T STIR! Simmer on low for 4 to 6 hours. You can flip halfway through, if desired.
- Shred and serve with favorite taco toppings.
*Mine was really liquidy, so I had to strain it. I may try without water next time and see if that makes a difference. I'm sure it's the juices from the Pico de Gallo that drain into the bottom.
