Crock Pot Ranch Chicken Tacos

by Rebecca July 30, 2022
written by Rebecca

Easy and absolutely delicious! This crockpot ranch chicken taco is filled with amazing flavors. It’s incredibly versatile, and you can use the chicken another way. To serve, ladle the chicken onto the tortillas and top with your favorite toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced avocado, shredded cheese, and more!

Ingredients

8-10 small taco-sized flour tortillas or corn tortillas

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 c. chicken stock – use, low sodium if desired

1 packet ranch seasoning

2 tbsp low sodium taco seasoning (or 1 packet of taco seasoning)

Optional:

Diced avocado

Shredded cheese

Diced tomato

Cilantro leaves – chopped

Red onion – thinly sliced

Shredded lettuce or Shredded cabbage

How to make Crock Pot Ranch Chicken Tacos

Step 1: In the bottom of a slow cooker, place the chicken breasts. Pour in the chicken stock and sprinkle the chicken with taco seasoning and ranch seasoning. Put the lid on and set to cook for 3 to 4 hours on high or 6 to 7 hours on low.

Step 2: To a bowl, transfer the chicken about 20 minutes before serving. Shred the chicken using two forks and place the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker. Then, stir.

Step 3: To serve, fill the tortillas with the shredded chicken and top with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes:

I love Iceberg lettuce in my tacos. I often grab a bag of pre-shredded cabbage or shred it thinly by myself.

You can add cayenne pepper to the taco and ranch seasoning mixture for spicier chicken. You can also use spicy taco seasoning mix or hot pepper sauce.

Keep any leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Easily double this recipe if desired. Use a crockpot that can hold 6 quarts or more and adjust the cooking time by about 1 hour.

To freeze, let the chicken cool completely. Then, place the chicken in airtight containers or freezer bags.

How to make Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes Skillet

Step 1: To a hot cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and 2 tbsp butter.

Step 2: To the skillet, add the potatoes, garlic, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let them cook for about 4 minutes, undisturbed. After 4 minutes, stir everything and continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes more or until tender. In a bowl, transfer everything when done.

Step 3: Adjust the heat to high and add 2 tbsp butter to the now-empty skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the steak bites in a single layer and cook for about a minute. Then, flip or stir the steak bites and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 4: Take the skillet off the heat and return the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Toss well and season with extra salt and pepper.

Step 5: Before serving, garnish with some fresh chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy!

Tips:

For this recipe, you can also use beef tenderloin or New York strip steak. Or stir fry the meat.

You use red-skinned and fingerling potatoes instead of Yukon gold.
