Tips:
- Use a variety of chicken. You can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thighs, or a mix of both. If you're using frozen chicken, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. If you're using a small slow cooker, you may need to cook the chicken in batches. Overcrowding the slow cooker will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Add plenty of liquid. The chicken needs to be submerged in liquid in order to cook properly. You can use chicken broth, water, or a combination of both.
- Season the chicken well. Be sure to season the chicken with salt, pepper, and your favorite taco seasoning before cooking. This will help to give the chicken flavor.
- Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The cooking time will depend on the size of the chicken pieces and the type of slow cooker you're using.
- Shred the chicken before serving. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. You can then add the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker or serve it immediately.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker chicken taco soup is a delicious and easy weeknight meal. It's perfect for busy families or anyone who wants a healthy and flavorful meal without a lot of effort. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will love.
