Easy Crock-pot (slow cooker) Pulled Chicken

Clean chicken, season with salt, and pepper. Place seasoned chicken, salsa, and taco seasoning into crock-pot. Set on high for four hours, or low for six. Chicken should pull easily with two forks. Stir, and add additional seasoning, as needed. Often times I’ll add sriracha for a bit more heat.

I made it, now how do I eat it/what do I pair it with?

  • Serve warm, as an entree with sides like macaroni salad, or potato salad.
  • Toss the chicken into soft, or hard taco shells. Top with your favorite taco seasonings.
  • This chicken also works well served on Kings Hawaiian buns, topped with cheese.
  • Want something healthier? Top a salad with this as the protein!
  • Make pulled chicken EMPANADAS!

Chicken Gabriel: Oven Baked Chicken Breast with Mozzarella and Prosciutto

Ingredients:

Directions:

Butterfly chicken breast using a sharp filet knife. This can be done from frozen, and likely can make 3 cutlets from each breast. Lightly pound cutlets, to equal thickness. Doing so will cook the chicken evenly. Once completed, place on a baking pan, in a single layer, and set aside.

In a skillet, sauté onion in olive oil, then add shallot. When golden brown, add butter, and flour. Once thick, add stock, and allow to reduce for a few minutes. Season to taste.

Preheat oven to 400º. Lightly season each cutlet, top with a slice of prosciutto, and then cheese. Add stock reduction, then bake for about 15 minutes. Serve hot.

Serves 5-6

Side pairing ideas: Roasted garlic & rosemary potatoes. Sautéed green beans. See sides page for more info.
