Cilantro Lime Chicken Crock Pot Tacos

Tacos are pretty much the greatest main dish. People with food allergies can feast on the same meal at the same table at the same time as their friends and family with tacos. Taco meat is delicious on salads, corn shells, or tortillas. You can doctor up any taco with your choice of condiments. This chicken is a super easy and tasty crock pot recipe.  You can eat the meat for dinner one night, and eat it cold on a salad for lunch the next day, or even scoop it up with chips and guacamole.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast or breast pieces
  • 1 16-ounce jar gluten-free salsa (some gluten-free brands include: Chi Chi’s, Frontera, On the Border, Newman’s Own, Old El Paso, Pace, Taco Bell, and Tostito’s)
