Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 (10-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- Sour cream and salsa for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the diced tomatoes, cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork.
- Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks and stir to combine with the sauce.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
- Serve the shredded chicken in tortillas, topped with shredded cheddar cheese, cilantro, and any additional toppings like sour cream or salsa.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños to the slow cooker.
- You can also substitute the chicken with shredded beef or pork for a different flavor profile.
