2 cloves garlic, (minced)
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups cooked chicken, (shredded into bite sized pieces)

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 4h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4 small/medium or 3 medium/large)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (divided)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes in their juices (14 ounces)
2 - 3 chipotle peppers in adobo
Canned reduced-sodium black beans (rinsed and drained)
Canned Mexican corn (drained)
Prepared brown rice or quinoa
Your favorite Mexican toppings: fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Lightly coat a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray. Season both sides of the chicken with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Once hot and shimmering, add the chicken. Sear each side for 2 to 3 minutes each, just until brown (the chicken does not need to be cooked through). Do not disturb the chicken while each side sears. Transfer to the prepared slow cooker.
  • Sprinkle the chicken with the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Pour in the tomatoes including their juices. Scatter the chipotle peppers over the top.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 1 to 2 ½ hours, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. The cooking time will vary based on your slow cooker and the size of your chicken breasts. Remove the chicken to a cutting board. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then shred with two forks, either on the cutting board or return it to the slow cooker and shred it directly in the slow cooker with two forks (or for even faster shredding) a hand mixer.
  • Return the chicken to the slow cooker (if needed) and stir in with the cooking liquid. Add in the optional beans and Mexican corn (if using). Cover and cook on low for 15 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the flavor and cooking juices. Taste and season with additional salt as desired. Serve the chicken hot, on top of brown rice, inside enchiladas, for quesadillas or tacos, or any way you like.

  • Enchiladas Divorciadas. For the diner who can never decide, this classic dish marries salsa roja and salsa verde over a bed of chicken enchiladas. A crown of queso fresco, crème fraîche, and crisp raw onions bridge the gap.
  • Instant-Pot Red Chicken Enchiladas. These pressure cooker enchiladas are all about the tortillas and the ancho chile sauce. Shredded chicken and cheese round out the dish.
  • Chicken Mole. Traditional mole usually requires a pantry's worth of ingredients and an entire day in the kitchen. Here, we'’ve streamlined the ingredient list—and figured out how to make an incredible sauce in a couple of hours.
  • Breaded Chicken Sandwiches with Sesame Rolls (Cemita Poblana de Milanesa) Most people have heard of a torta—one of the traditional sandwiches of Mexico—but the cemita is its own unique breed of Mexican sandwich.
  • Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup With Bean and Cheese Nachos. This weeknight-friendly soup is enriched by the flavor of smoky chipotles, brightened by fresh lime, and ready in just 22 minutes or less.
  • Green Chile Chicken Tamales (Tamales con Salsa Verde y Pollo) Masa labeled "masa preparada para tamales" often contains baking powder and salt, so don't add either if it does.
  • Slow-Cooker Green Chicken Chili. Made with chicken, sweet potatoes, tomatillo salsa, and pinto beans, this easy chili is a cross between chile verde and white chicken chili.
  • Chipotle Chicken Tacos with Potatoes and Guacamole. Finish these spicy, smoky, guacamole-topped tacos with crisp, thinly sliced radishes and bright lime, and get ready to watch them disappear.
  • Chicken Under a Brick with Avocados and Chiles. This technique encourages even cooking with the crispiest skin imaginable. The key to success is to cook the chicken over medium-low coals so the skin slowly renders out the fat.
  • Skillet Chicken and Zucchini Enchiladas with Tomatillo Sauce. Why should tacos have all the fun? These enchiladas are just as fast and easy, thanks to a one-pan stove-top cooking technique and a few store-bought shortcuts.
