The best Mexican shredded chicken
We love using our crockpot to batch cook recipes that are versatile and perfect for leftovers. The slow cooker also turns this recipe into juicy chicken that’s easily shreddable! We love this Mexican shredded chicken because it goes with just about anything. Our favorite ways to serve it are:
TacosQuesadillasSalads (with a little Chipotle Aioli – perfection!)Burritos or burrito bowls
Super easy crockpot Mexican chicken
This recipe isn’t quite as easy as dumping a jar of salsa over some chicken breasts or thighs – but it’s close. You don’t need to brown the chicken or do anything fancy, just slather it with the Mexican chicken seasoning, dump in the other ingredients and call it good!
Make it Instant Pot Mexican chicken instead
You can easily use the Instant Pot to make this recipe too! Just follow the same basic instructions and as the slow cooker version but cook the chicken on high pressure for 22 minutes. After the time is up, do a quick release and then shred the chicken in the Instant Pot with the juices.
