These Crockpot Chicken Tacos are tender, juicy, and easy to make with just a handful of ingredients. Perfect for meal prep, taco night, or a busy weeknight dinner. No browning or marinating required. Just toss everything into the slow cooker and let it do the work.
Add the chicken, diced tomatoes with green chilies, taco seasoning, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt to the Crockpot. Stir lightly to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Remove the chicken and shred using two forks. Return it to the Crockpot and stir in the lime juice and cilantro.
Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to soak up the juices. Serve in tortillas with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness, especially if reheating later.
Don’t skip the lime juice, it brightens the slow-cooked flavors.
