Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Stew

I love this stew! It is so easy and leaves me feeling satisfied. I use 3/4 cup as a serving. If it is too spicy for you, substitute a can of diced tomatoes for one of the diced tomatoes w/chilies.

Ingredients

Directions

Mix everything together in a slow cooker except chicken. Lay chicken on top and cover. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. 30 minutes before serving, remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in. This is good eaten with cheese, sour cream, or tortilla chips.

Incredible!	Oh my goodness! Ridiculously easy, and so delicious! Not at all spicy enough for me, though. I'll be adding some hot sauce and adding some canned chipotle peppers next time I make it.	Submitted by: JSEJORDANA (2/19/09)

Incredible!	Great tasting recipe. Made a few changes to go lower salt though. Use whole tomatoes just cut them up,rinse the beans from the cans, use low salt taco seasoning and cut the amount in half, i threw in cut up fresh whole mushrooms, and use 100% whole wheat pitas to dip. Cut them into triangles.	Submitted by: JACOBITE30 (1/19/09)

Incredible!	We love it! I have made it with chicken and ground turkey and both turned out yummy. For the beans I put in green beans (hubby does not eat beans) and it is very good. we serve it over corn chips with cheese and sour cream.	Submitted by: ZOEMOM37 (2/20/09)

Incredible!	Excellent! I will make it again. Quick note though, when I measured out 1 cup servings it only came out to 8 servings, so I am having to go redo the nutritional information so it comes out correctly.	Submitted by: GISTACY27 (2/13/09)

Incredible!	I didn't even slow cook this. I had rock-hard frozen chicken breasts. I put the chicken pieces and onions in a skillet. Put the canned stuff and taco seasoning in another pot to heat. By the time it was bubbling, the chicken was cooked. I cut it up and dumped it all together. Yum with sour cream!!	Submitted by: IMAJANE (2/6/09)

Incredible!	This was really delicious. I added diced orange pepper and diced celery because I had some on hand. I'm sure without the extras, it is still delicious. I also started my fresh veggies in a pan on top of the stove to make sure they would be soft enough when the stew was done.	Submitted by: MARIOFAN (2/13/09)

Very Good	My husband LOVED this recipe. I was expecting more "taco" flavor so I might use more seasoning next time, but a reduced salt version, this was salty enough as it is! I would also recommend the longer cooking time as I did 3.5 hours on high and my onions were still crunchy (which I'm not a fan of).	Submitted by: WITCHCRAFTY (2/5/09)

Incredible!	I made this last night and it was a HUGE hit!! My 1 year old even loved it! I am not a fan of tomoatoes, so I didnt add the toamatoes, so it worked well as a stew, and then as a filler in a toritlla, and today it will be great on my salad! LOVED IT! will DEFINATELY make again! 10***	Submitted by: CHELLEBELLE76 (1/25/09)

Incredible!	Instead of the taco seasoning, I used another recipe for taco seasoning on here to cut the sodium down quite a bit (to 347 mg). It tasted like it needed salt, but it was still very good. Even my 14 month old gobbled it up, and that's unheard of! Will def. be on our rotation of healthy meals!	Submitted by: REFUSE2BFAT@30 (1/18/09)

Very Good	This is one of our favorites, with a couple of "tweaks". Our recipe has a packet of dry Ranch dressing seasoning, and we use chili beans instead of black beans. I also use yellow hominy instead of regular corn, and diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. It's great with jalapeno cornbread!	Submitted by: LHB293 (3/31/09)

Incredible!	This sounds great and gives me another "Mexican" receipe to use. Altho I'll use ground beef since my husband doesn't eat chicken. I have a salt free taco seasoning mix from the Make a Mix cookbook from 1978. Will also use as much reduced sodium ingredients as I can find. WE are trying to reduce NA.
