Foodie Friday

This recipe I have actually made a couple of times before, but it is so delicious, that I wanted to share it on my blog.  Super easy to make, tastes delicious & is a huge hit in my household...what more could I ask for??!!

Today's recipe is Slow-Cooker Chili Chicken Tacos from Martha Stewart.

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 6) **I use 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts**
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 cup prepared tomato salsa, plus more for serving (optional)
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo **I use regular ole' chopped green chiles**
1 tablespoon chili powder
Coarse salt and ground pepper
8 hard corn taco shells **We prefer flour tortillas instead**
Cilantro, shredded cheese, lime wedges, and sour cream, for serving (optional)


* In slow cooker, combine chicken, garlic, salsa, chiles, chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cover & cook on high for 4 hours (or on low for 8 hours).


* Transfer chicken to a serving bowl, and shred, using two forks; moisten with cooking juices. **I actually just shred the chicken right in the slow cooker, and then let simmer for 20 minutes or so.**


* Serve in taco shells (or flour tortillas), with toppings, if desired.  I served ours with Spanish rice & corn.  Delicious!
