Hi, I'm Danelle and this is where I dish about my favorite recipes. I focus on simple, family friendly fare and try to make feeding the family a little bit easier for everyone.
Filed under Main Dishes2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Zesty Italian dressing
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pkt ranch dressing mix
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Place all ingredients in a crock pot. Cook on high for 5-6 hours or on low for 8 hours.
Shred chicken with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve in burritos, tacos, salads, etc.
Let's Dish
This flavorful shredded chicken is perfect for almost any Mexican fare......burritos, tacos, taco salads, you name it! It's so easy to throw everything into the crock pot, and it freezes beautifully. I like to double or triple the recipe just so I can keep some on hand in the freezer for quick weeknight meals. I haven't ever had the chicken at Cafe Rio, so I can't vouch for how much it tastes like the real thing, but my whole family loves it!

I'm always looking for more recipes than are made in the slow cooker. this looks like a winner. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis looks very tasty, i have to make it soon, thanks for posting :-)
ReplyDeleteEven better than shredding chicken with a fork...you can shred boneless skinless cooked chicken with your hand mixer while it is still warm. Save yourself about 15 minutes and aching hands. :) This recipe sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi Danelle!
ReplyDeleteHow ironic, I just "dug out" my Crock today. I had the small one out all summer but for the Fall and on, it's time to dig out the big one. This recipe sounds like a great way to start the season!
Thanks so much for sharing...
I made this for dinner last night... and it was a HUGE HIT!!! Was VERY YUMMY!!!
ReplyDeleteCould you do a mix of chicken breasts and thighs???
ReplyDeleteI think you could use any chicken pieces you would like.
