Ready In
- Put chicken into the crock of a slow cooker. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the chicken. Layer diced tomatoes with habaneros, onion, celery, and carrot over the chicken, respectively; top with salsa. Pour water over the entire mixture.
- Cook on Low until the chicken is easily shreddable, 6 to 8 hours. An instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Shred the chicken with 2 forks and stir with the salsa mixture.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- As a low-carb option just serve in a bowl, similar to stew, and top with grated cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and chopped scallions.
- Great for filling tacos and burritos or even as the meat for a tortilla soup. Use your imagination to create other menu ideas.
- Easy Cleanup
- Try using a liner in your slow cooker for easier cleanup.

I hated it. It was soupy, and the chicken was rather dry.
