Chicken Soft Tacos Recipe

My family loves these tacos. The chicken filling cooks in the slow-cooker, so it’s convenient to throw it together before I leave for work. At the end of the day, I just have to roll it up in a tortilla with the remaining ingredients and dinner’s ready in minutes. The chicken also makes a great topping for salad. -Cheryl Newendorp, Pella, Iowa

my family really liked this but I used boneless skinless breast. It could use a touch more garlic. Other than that we are making it aganin for famaily tonight! Go Iowa!!

This was o.k., I agree it is kind of bland. I wouldn't make it again after finding the slow cooker recipe" Lime Chicken Tacos" from this site. It is much more flavorful and calls for boneless, skinless chicken breasts which I prefer for this type of recipe-all white meat tacos.

I am not sure why but my family found this to be very bland. For the work you do removing the skin from the chicken and then shredding the meat from the bone after cooking I do not think this recipe is worth the trouble. The flavor was just not there for us. Sorry.

This recipe is DELICIOUS! I used dried sliced garlic instead, and added some black beans. Great recipe!
