Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Serving

  • Taco shells or tortillas
  • Toppings of choice (cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken: Put the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the crockpot in an even layer to prepare for seasoning and cooking.
  2. Add seasoning: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken breasts to coat them thoroughly for maximum flavor infusion during cooking.
  3. Add liquids and optional ingredients: Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and the chicken broth. Add the optional olive oil and garlic powder if using, and season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
  4. Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on the low setting for 6 to 8 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and easily shredded with a fork.
  5. Shred the chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them finely using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir it into the flavorful sauce to coat evenly.
  6. Serve: Spoon the ranch chicken into taco shells or tortillas. Add your favorite toppings such as cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, or sour cream to complete your delicious tacos.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary depending on your crockpot model, so check the chicken for doneness after 6 hours.
  • For extra spice, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the mixture before cooking.
  • If you prefer less liquid, reduce the chicken broth to 1/2 cup.
  • Shredded chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Feel free to use corn or flour tortillas based on dietary preferences.
