If you’ve learned anything at all about me in the last 4 years since I started this blog, you’ve learned that I like to keep things simple.
And not because I am lazy, but like most of you I am just very busy and need to save time however I can. I enjoy simple recipes with few ingredients that are easy to prepare, without sacrificing the flavor of the dish. Cooking in the slow cooker is one way that I like to keep things simple in my life. It’s so nice to toss the ingredients into the pot, and come back later that day to a delicious meal. This Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos recipe is one of my all time favorites, with just a few ingredients this dish is also easy on the budget.
This recipe yields enough chicken to feed a hungry crowd. I like to top the shredded chicken with some fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Sticking with a few fresh ingredients keeps this recipe very healthy.

Yum! I’ve always added tomato sauce instead of chicken broth. I’ll have to try it this way. And, yummy cilantro!
