Ingredients
2 extra large chicken breast, boneless, skinless (about 2.5 lbs total)1 jar (16 oz) green salsa1 package of taco mix (add more heat as desired with crushed red pepper)1/4 cup cilantro, washed and chopped, stems removedjuice from 2 limes (approx 2 Tbsp)
Directions
Mix all ingredients except chicken in slow cooker, then add chicken.
Cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
Toward the end of cooking time, shred chicken with 2 forks, to desired chunkiness. I like mine very shredded as it incorporates the flavor of the sauce nicely that way.
Use for taco meat, burrito or enchilada filling, or topping nachos.
