Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Serving

  • Taco shells or tortillas
  • Toppings of choice (cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly in the crockpot to form the base of the dish.
  2. Add Seasoning: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken breasts to ensure the flavor infuses throughout the meat.
  3. Add Liquids and Optional Seasonings: Pour the diced tomatoes with green chilies (including juices) and chicken broth over the chicken. Add olive oil and garlic powder if using, along with salt and pepper to taste for extra flavor.
  4. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender enough to shred easily.
  5. Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir well to coat it thoroughly with the cooking juices and seasonings.
  6. Serve: Spoon the ranch chicken mixture into taco shells or tortillas, then add your favorite toppings such as cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, and sour cream for a delicious taco meal.

Notes

  • For a spicier taco, add additional diced jalapeños or hot sauce.
  • Use bone-in chicken breasts for potentially more flavor, adjusting cooking time as needed.
  • Leftover chicken can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free taco shells or tortillas and ensure the ranch seasoning is gluten-free.
