Shredded Chicken Nachos

One of my favorite meals for game day would be nachos! I love this recipe because it is so easy to make. All you have to do is stick the chicken in your crock pot and prepare your toppings. It's quick, easy, and a crowd pleaser :) The hardest part of this meal, is having to smell it cooking!! It's soooo delicious! Plus, it's so easy to customize, even the pickiest eater will enjoy it.



Here's what you'll need:

1 lb of chicken breast
1 packet or 1/4 cup of your favorite taco seasoning
1 1/2 cups of water
tortilla chips
toppings, such as: nacho cheese, shredded cheese, refried beans, green onions, white onion, tomatoes, salsa, avocado, guacamole, hot sauce, jalapeƱos, green chilis, sour cream, cilantro, etc.
**Note: this makes about 4 servings, so if you have more people or love a lot of meat, then double the recipe :)

Place the uncooked chicken into the crockpot and sprinkle with taco seasoning.



Add water and stir to incorporate. Spoon some of the liquid over the chicken. Then, cover and cook on high for 4-6 hours.


Stir the chicken with a spoon. It will be tender enough, that it will shred on it's own as you stir it. Cover and let it cook for about a half an hour more. Add a little bit more water, only if it appears to be getting dry. However, it should be in a nice about of sauce. Remember, you don't want too much liquid, otherwise you will get soggy nachos...and no one has time for that!!





Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
