Crock-Pot Taco Chicken

by Sweet Tea & Taters on April 12, 2012

You know what’s super annoying to me?  I become EXTREMELY annoyed when I wake up in the middle of the night for no apparent reason and then proceed to stay awake, reviewing thoughts and worries about things that just don’t matter.  Why do I do this?  When morning comes all I’m left with are huge bags under my eyes that will take a miracle of makeup ingenuity to cover up and a mug full of coffee that just won’t kick in fast enough!

Today is one of those days.  A day that is already starting out on the wrong foot due to my overly-worried, stressed out for no good reason, overly-controlling, endless-list making, crazy, whack-a-doo mind that JUST WON’T TURN OFF.  Seriously, I’m starting to think I’m a freak of nature.  Just.Stop.Thinking.

Luckily, today is also a day when our dinner will be a no brainer.  No thought required.  Just set it, and forget it.

Shredded Taco Chicken in the crock-pot is such a great go-to meal.  It can be used for all kinds of things- tacos, sandwiches, salads, quesadillas, pizza topping, burritos, baked potato topping, breakfast migas, nachos, taco pasta bake, and the list goes on!

I put the chicken on flour tortilla tacos for my husband and then I put it on a salad for myself.  Dinner, Done.
