Ever think you don't have time to make a meal? Ever think you REALLY don't have time to make a HEALTHY meal? I think most people experience the take-out rut also...
Well, add this recipe to your repertoire! It's not only easy, but it is healthy and it is YUM-E!
Crock Pot Tex-Mex Pulled Chicken
3-4 chicken breasts, about 1 1/4 pounds
1 large spanish onion, very roughly chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 jalapeño, chopped (optional)
1 packet taco seasoning
1 t. salt
1 t. black pepper
1 lime, juice and zest
2 plus 1 T. fresh cilantro, chopped (2 for cooking phase, 1 for garnish when done)
1 jar salsa of your choice (I used medium picante sauce)
2 T apple cider vinegar
1 T tequila (optional)
Ready for the easiest instructions ever?
Put all ingredients in crock pot (turn on low, and let cook for 4-5 hours.
Take chicken breasts out one at a time (they probably won't even come out whole at this point...). Using two forks, pull chicken apart and it will shred so incredibly easily!
Return chicken to crock pot, and stir. Cook 2 additional hours on low. And... VOILA!
Serve over rice or in tortilla of your choice. Garnish with lettuce, black beans, corn, sour cream, avocado, jalapeños. WHATEVER. You could eat this totally by itself by the fork full and it would be hella amazing! So good.
