Tips and Tricks
Preparing the Chicken
For best results, use fresh chicken breasts and trim any excess fat before placing them in the slow cooker. This ensures a lean and tender result.
Layering Ingredients
When adding the ingredients to the slow cooker, place the chicken on the bottom to ensure it cooks thoroughly and absorbs the flavors from the other ingredients.
Mixing the Soup Mixture
Mix the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, green chiles, and taco seasoning thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors. This helps in creating a well-balanced and flavorful broth.
Cooking Time
Cooking on low for 8-10 hours allows the chicken to become tender and easily shreddable. If you’re short on time, you can cook on high for 4-5 hours, but the low and slow method yields the best texture and flavor.
Shredding the Chicken
Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. This helps the shredded chicken absorb the flavors from the broth better.
Adding Sour Cream
Stir in the sour cream after shredding the chicken. This adds creaminess to the dish and helps to thicken the broth slightly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the dish with optional toppings like shredded Monterey Jack cheese and chopped green onions. These add extra flavor and a nice presentation.
Adjusting Consistency
If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can mix in a slurry of cornstarch and water (1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of cold water) during the last hour of cooking.
Flavor Enhancements
For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a handful of chopped fresh cilantro just before serving.
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of chicken broth if needed to adjust the consistency.
Freezing
This dish freezes well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers. It can be frozen for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Customizing the Recipe
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding other ingredients like black beans, diced tomatoes, or a mix of bell peppers for added flavor and nutrition.

Do you drain the corn and the beans first?
Hi Allysyn,
No, you don’t drain them.
