Chicken Taco Crock Pot Recipe | Super easy recipe and ready in just a few hours! | PinkWhen

I LOVE to use my crock pot to make slow cooker meals, and one of my favorite things to make are these chicken crock pot tacos. My family is always excited when I add this to our monthly meal plan. It’s Whole 30 compliant and Keto friendly, (omit beans and corn) and that’s another reason why it is one of my favorites. It’s bursting with flavor and full of yumminess, and it is effortless to make.

I’ve said it before, and I will repeat it, I need more TIME in my day. Effortless recipes like this are what keeps my family and me going. BONUS: It only takes a few minutes to prepare.

If you have been looking for a yummy chicken taco recipe, you need to try these chicken crock pot tacos.

Best Chicken Taco Crock Pot Recipe

If you have been coming to this website for a while, you probably know that I am a huge fan of chicken.

Any chicken.

I have enough chicken recipes to last a lifetime perhaps. If you don’t believe me, do a google search for PinkWhen and Chicken. (Grab some coffee, you will be there for a while!)

Why do I love this recipe as much as I do? It’s a family favorite. Not only do my husband and I devour it, but so do the kids! You can add this mixture to fajitas, over crushed chips, or onto a lettuce wrap.

There are so many different options. And the toppings.

I can go crazy with the toppings. But even if you are only eating this, it is still full of yummy flavor.

How to make chicken crock pot tacos

You can heat the crock pot to the HIGH setting for 4 hours, or LOW setting for 8 hours. Either way, this recipe is going to be a new family favorite. Decides how much time you have and go from there. I have had both versions, and they are both perfect.

Easy Chicken Crock Pot Tacos

Three easy steps to chicken crock pot tacos

1. Add chicken, onion, corn, beans, tomatoes with green chilis, and taco seasoning to the slow cooker.

2. Stir everything well, and then cover to cook.

3. Stir intermittently during the day if you have time. I generally wait until I get home and shred the chicken and go from there.

My favorite toppings for Chicken Taco Crock Pot Recipe

Once the chicken is fully cooked, serve on lettuce (for a healthier taco), or crush up taco shells and serve as a taco salad. You could also always serve just like a regular taco in flour tortillas or crunchy taco shells.

To me, it’s all about the toppings. I love to spice up these tacos with everything I can think of to add.

After all, we want to make these the best chicken tacos ever, so add them all!

Chicken Crock Pot Tacos are an easy weeknight recipe

What are your favorite toppings? Some of my favorite toppings are fat-free sour cream, shredded cheese, maybe a little salsa on the side, and some sliced avocados if I have them available.

You can never go wrong with too many toppings in my opinion.

    That is easy. And I love the idea of serving it in lettuce cups. I might still have a few chips on the side, but the lettuce would actually hold the contents better than a shell that breaks up!

    I made tacos in the crockpot once, and oh boy, was it awesome! It was a very basic, peppers heavy recipe and it was not like this! This is gorgeous and I’ll be making this when I get back from Florida.

    Thank you so much for this QUICK and EASY recipe! I had tried a different version of slow-cooked chicken taco, but it wasn’t nearly as good as this one. My house smelled AMAZING when I came in, and the kids all agreed that the house smelled great….(always a challenge with four kids and one in diapers!). Although they havn’t had it YET, they are excited to try. I’m having an early supper and placed my chicken on my salad- superb! I’ll be trying some more of your chicken breast recipes– thanks again!

    Looks good but it isnt Whole 30 compliant. Black beans and corn are a no-no for Whole 30.

    I was confused. You’re not preheating the crock pot, are you??? Said to heat the crock pot then add the ingredients.

        Will the chicken be tender enough to shred at the end?

          Yes! Mine is always tender.

    You don’t need any liquid to go in it?

      Not for the tacos. You would add liquid if you wanted chicken taco soup. 🙂
