Everything here seems super family friendly and oh so yummy. I am trying to use the crock pot I got for my bridal shower (6 years ago) for more than keeping hot chocolate warm on those cold snowy days and the following recipe caught my eye. Sorry no picture, this was before I decided it should be a picture blog/recipe book.
I cut the chicken breasts up and it made a great 3 hour meal instead or 5-8. I always use a digital meat thermometer when cooking in the slow cooker cause mine runs hot and nothing ruins a dinner like overcooked food. We ate this with our friends and they provided some delicious homemade tortillas. That is an adventure I will definitely want to try!
| Cafe Rio Chicken |
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breasts ( I use boneless)
- 1/2 cup zesty italian dressing
- 1/2 Tbsp. minced garlic
- 1 pkt ranch dressing mix
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1/2 Tbsp. chili powder
- 1/2 Tbsp. ground cumin
Instructions
- Place chicken in a crock pot.
- In a bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients and pour over the chicken.
- Cook on High 5-6 hours OR on Low 8 hours.
- Remove chicken from crock pot and shred.
- Remove half the liquid from the crock pot and place in a bowl. Add the chicken to the crock pot and combine with the liquid left in the crock pot. You want the chicken nice and moist. Add more of the reserved liquid if needed.
- Serve in tacos, burritos, salad, quesadillas, etc. I got two meals from this. I did tacos with some and quesadillas another time with the leftovers. This meat freezes well.
