What's On Our Menu? Chicken Tacos!


I'm huge on quick and easy meals. And if I can make it in my handy dandy Crockpot, that's even better! 

As busy as I am, I'm also very conscious about cooking meals that fill us up AND keep us healthy. I try my best to buy organic, low sodium, and fresh fruits and veggies when I can. That's not always the case. But for these delicious tacos, it was!

Since both my husband and I work, the best way to make a healthy meal is to stick it in my slow cooker and let it cook while we work!

There are many days where I get home later than Kelly does. On those days, I make sure there's something warm and tasty waiting for him! It's the least I can do for my hard-working hubby who works a full-time job and runs a full-time business.

Here's how you can make these delicious chicken tacos!

What you'll need:

About a pound of chicken
Chicken broth (enough to cover the chicken while it cooks in the Crockpot. Amounts vary)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1/2 lime
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chile powder

Directions:

1. Rinse chicken.


2. Put in Crockpot and pour in chicken broth so chicken is submerged.


3. Add in chile powder.


4. Then the cumin!


5. I like to cut up my cilantro so it's in tiny pieces. Then I toss it in!


6. I drizzle lime juice over the top of the chicken. 


7. Last, but certainly not least, I cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
When I get home, I shred it and then stick it back into the juice for 20 minutes or so to soak up all the FLAVOR!


8. THEN I serve and we enjoy!
