- 1 (1.5 oz.) packet of taco seasoning
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 (4 oz.) can diced green chilies
Instructions
- Step: Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Cover with salsa and sprinkle taco seasoning, black pepper, and green chilies over the top.
- Step: Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hour or on high for 2½-3 hours. When done cooking shred the chicken with two forks and stir into the sauce.
