First Step: Begin by combining 1 cup salsa, 1 cup drained canned tomatoes (or 10 ounces of canned tomatoes), and 1 ounce taco seasoning (or 2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning) in a bowl. This mixture creates the flavorful base that infuses the chicken.

Second Step: Place the diced ½ onion and 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Make sure they’re arranged evenly for the best cooking results. Here, you might want to check out an easy chicken spaghetti recipe on our site for more chicken ideas that complement this one.

Third Step: Pour the tomato mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker. This ensures every piece gets coated and absorbs all the delicious flavors during cooking.

Fourth Step: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. The total time is around 4 hours and 5 minutes, giving you flexibility based on your schedule.

Fifth Step: Once done, remove the chicken and shred it using forks or a hand mixer. This step is quick and makes the meat perfect for tacos.

Sixth Step: Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it back into the juices for extra moisture. Finally, serve it as tacos, in burritos, on salads, pizzas, or over rice to suit your preferences.
