Step‑By‑Step Instructions
- Start by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Evenly sprinkle the taco seasoning mix over the chicken, ensuring every piece is well-coated.
- Pour half of the chunky red salsa over the seasoned chicken.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to the high setting for 3 hours, or low for 6 to 8 hours.
- Once the cooking time is up, carefully remove the lid and check if the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the juices to retain flavor.
- Stir in the remaining salsa to the shredded chicken, ensuring an even mix throughout.
- Scoop the flavorful shredded chicken onto plates or into taco shells. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
