THE EASIEST AND BEST CROCK POT CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP



The Easiest and Best Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup image

A friend of mine made this soup for a baby shower that I recently attended and everyone loved it! Fritos or tortilla strips and cheddar cheese are optional topping's as well as the sour cream. I like it the best with only sour cream which makes it HEALTHY which is always a major plus! You do not need to pre cook the chicken, just put it in raw OR frozen, which makes it super easy. For spicer soup, get the spicy RoTel tomatoes and/or Medium or Hot Tostitos Salsa but you will find that it has a lot of flavor and is quite spicy for not having to add any extra spices -- SO easy!! I like it the best with one jar of medium and one jar of mild tostitos salsa.

Provided by Denver Chef

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 10h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs chicken breasts
1 (16 ounce) jar 505 medium hot salsa (or other brand if your store doesn't carry 505)
2 serrano peppers, chopped
6 garlic cloves, pressed
1 packet mccormick taco seasoning

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in crock pot and cook for 10 1/2 hours.
  • To shred chicken, remove from crock pot and use 2 forks to pull apart.
  • Very easy!
  • Put shredded chicken back in sauce to keep moist.
  • Serve burrito style or over rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for crock pot cooking, as they will remain moist and tender.
  • Season the chicken well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to create a flavorful chicken dish.
  • Add moisture to the crock pot. A little bit of liquid, such as chicken broth, water, or even salsa, will help to keep the chicken moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Cook the chicken on low heat for 6-8 hours. This will allow the chicken to cook slowly and evenly, resulting in a tender and juicy dish.
  • Shred the chicken before serving. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to eat and will also help to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the dish.

Conclusion:

Crock pot chicken is a versatile and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a hearty and comforting dish for a special occasion, crock pot chicken is a great option. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
