I brought out the slow cooker again this week to make some shredded chicken to fill tacos, and it worked out really nicely. It was really simple to put together, and the house smelled great while it was cooking. My chicken was a little frozen still, and it was perfectly cooked after 4 hours on high. We used this chicken inside tacos with white corn tortillas and topped them with some of the Raw Sweet Corn and Tomato Salsa that I made last night, some shredded Mexican cheese blend, hot sauce and a dollop of sour cream. We had the rest of the quinoa and black beans from the Quinoa Black Bean Burrito Bowls and it was perfect!

Slow Cooker Shredded Green Chile Chicken

I love using this chicken in tacos, enchiladas, or on nachos. Really any sort of Mexican-inspired dish!
