Crock Pot Spicy Shredded Chicken (for tacos, burritos, or whatever floats your boat)

So the other day I kind of just threw this meal together, well in the morning sense it spent all day in my crock pot, and it turned out amazing! Hope you enjoy it as well!


3 boneless skinless chicken breast (thawed)
1 packet taco seasoning (i used the hot and spicy one, but if you would like a more mild feel free to use whichever one you would like)
Amount of water seasoning packet asks for (could substitute chicken broth in place of water)
1 cup of rice (optional)


In the morning place your chicken in your slow cooker. Then in a cup or bowl mix seasoning packet and water with a fork. Next pour liquid over the chicken. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8. If adding rice pour in during the last 2 hours (if on low). If the remaining liquid before adding the rice doesn't look to be about 2 1/2 cups then add enough hot water until it looks about right. When done shred chicken with two forks. Enjoy!

Serving suggestion: I fried up a flour tortilla and topped with some warm refried black beans, the chicken and rice mixture, some warm queso dip, and shredded cheese.
