Ingredients
 

  • 2 pounds chicken breast, 3-4 large chicken breasts
  • 1 1-ounce package taco seasoning, or homemade
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 10-ounce can Rotel, (canned tomatoes with green chiles)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken in the base of a greased slow cooker.
  • Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the chicken.
  • Add the heavy cream, creamy cheese and canned tomatoes to the slow cooker.
  • Cook on low up to 8 hours or on high up to 4 hours.
  • Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred.
  • While the chicken is out of the slow cooker add one cup of shredded cheese and whisk the sauce together until smooth.
  • Add the chicken back to the slow cooker, toss to coat and top with the remaining cheese. Cover until melted.

Notes

  • Important Slow Cooker Note: Not all slow cookers are created equal! I have one that simmers gently on low and another that actually boils. If yours runs on the hotter side, you’ll want to shorten the cooking time a bit to avoid overcooking the chicken.
  • If you enjoy spicy food you can use two cans of Rotel.
