Crock-Pot Taco Chicken

Yes, I have neglected this blog and kind of taken a break from cooking recipes from this cookbook.  BUT, that doesn't mean I haven't been cooking dinner.  By doing this challenge to cook every recipe in the cookbook, I have become very comfortable with trying new recipes....even recipes with more than 6 ingredients or fresh ingredients I normally don't buy.  I have been trying out lots of new recipes from different blogs or from friends and have found some I really like. 

I am ready to dive back into some of "Saving Dinner" and in looking for something to make, this recipe caught my eye....because it's a crock-pot recipe and it has 3 ingredients!!!

Here it is:

6 boneless skineless chicken thighs 
2 cans tomatoes with green chilies
1 package taco seasoning mix

Throw it all in the crock-pot and cook on low 7-9 hours or until chicken is tender and easily shreddable.

Now, the best part.....it was DEEE LISHOUS!!  We had it as tacos last night...added a little letteuce, olives and cucumbers.  Today we had it as salad....a little ranch added and it was so good!!  My kids liked it too...well minus Kennedy who doesn't like anything with spices or sauce or all mixed together.
