Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet ranch dressing dry mix
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 onion sliced into strips
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 red bell pepper or orange, sliced into strips
  • 2 cubes chicken bouillon
  • 1 cup water

Instructions
 

  • Place chicken breasts in a 4–6 quart slow cooker. Sprinkle half of the ranch and taco seasoning over the chicken, flip, and sprinkle with the rest.
  • Layer the onion and bell peppers on top of the chicken. Add bouillon cubes and pour in water.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 4–6 hours, until chicken is fork-tender.

  • Serve hot in tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Add a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies if you want an extra kick of flavor.
  • Prefer thighs? Swap the chicken breasts for boneless, skinless chicken thighs for even juicier meat.
  • For meal prep, cook a big batch and freeze portions for quick taco nights later.
  • If you like it creamier, stir in ½ cup sour cream right before serving.
