I love Pinterest! It makes life so easy when your looking for a new recipe! I won't actually tell you how long each day I spend on Pinterest because you'd probably think I was crazy. It's totally for the blog you guys 😉 I like to call it "recipe research". My job makes me hungry and I'm learning not to recipe search late at night because I see some of the yummiest and most delicious things that I can't wait to try! That's what happened to me last week with these Creamy Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos. I saw a Pin from Kimber over at The Pinning Mama for her 3 Ingredient Crock Pot Chicken Tacos and you'd think I was pregnant or something because I had to restrain myself from going into the kitchen and putting them in the slow cooker at like 11 o'clock at night.
If I had to describe these Creamy Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos in 3 words I'd probably say that they were 1) EASY 2) CREAMY 3) G00000d! We will definitely be making them again soon!

Love this recipe? Give it a 5 Star Rating
Ingredients
- 3-4 chicken breasts
- 1 can of Rotel Tomatoes
- 8- oz of "whipped" cream cheese (it's in with the regular cream cheese in a plastic container)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ medium yellow onion (chopped)
- ½ tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped really good/fine)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- shredded Colby jack cheese
DIRECTIONS
- Place your chicken breasts in your slow cooker. Add your Rotel tomatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, cilantro and stir well. Cover and cook for 5-6 hours, or until your chicken will easily shred with 2 forks.
- Remove your chicken and shred into chunks. Return back to the slow cooker and stir well.
- Add your cream cheese and lime juice and cover and let sit while you're cooking your onion so your cream cheese can soften and melt.
- Cook your chopped onion over medium heat in butter until it is soft and translucent (about 4-5 mins).
- Add your onion to your slow cooker and stir everything together.
- Serve with warmed flour or corn tortillas and top with shredded Colby jack cheese.

This looks awesome! And did you know that you can put those cooked chicken breasts in your stand-up mixer (with the not-whisk blades) and it will do the shredding for you, perfectly?!
