JESSE: Hi, I’m Chef Jesse Brune with Home Made Simple on OWN, and today I’m gonna teach you how to make awesome chicken tacos in a crockpot. Shirdawn, a little birdie told me that chicken tacos is actually your favorite meal? SHIRDAWN: It is! JESSE: I’m going to show you a way to make it with no effort and super cost-effective. SHIRDAWN: Okay, let’s see JESSE: We have four frozen chicken breasts here. That will make you at least twenty-four tacos—that’s like two tacos each, right? SHIRDAWN: Right! JESSE: What I’m going to do is I’m going to lift up the lid of this crockpot—you’re gonna put the frozen chicken breasts in the crockpot. Now this is twenty-eight ounces of diced tomatoes. Go ahead and put that in the crockpot. And right here next to that—now this is optional, you can use water but today for a little extra flavor we’re gonna put half a cup of chicken stock in there as well. And now this also is optional, but these are mild mild mild green chilies. SHIRDAWN: Okay JESSE: Want to pop those in? So that was four ounces of mild green chilies, and we have one packet of taco seasoning. And then a teaspoon of salt. SHIRDAWN: Okay, that’s it? JESSE: That’s it! SHIRDAWN: Oh wow! JESSE: How nice is that? SHIRDAWN: Wonderful. JESSE: So all you need to do now is you put it on high and you leave it alone for four hours… Alright now I’m gonna show you how to shred the chicken… SHIRDAWN: Okay JESSE: And I just need two forks which I have right here. You just keep the breast in place with one fork, and then you just pull it apart right here like that. So once you have it shredded, all you have to do is just simply put it back into the pot. Mix it in so it’s good with all the juices. Alright, you ready to build some tacos? SHIRDAWN: I am! JESSE: Let’s do it. So right here we have some of the taco topping essentials. We have some shredded lettuce, a little Mexican blend cheese. Instead of sour cream, we are using some non-fat Greek yogurt that I added a couple extra herbs to. SHIRDAWN: Okay… JESSE: And then just some regular mild salsa. What’s great about this is a little goes a long way. And we can just top with some lettuce, a little cheese, some of our “not sour cream” sour cream, and just a little salsa. And that looks like a delicious chicken taco… SHIRDAWN: It does! JESSE: So please, you do your own… You ready, you excited?! SHIRDAWN: I am! JESSE: Bon appetite… (tastes and laughs) Right?! It’s good right? SHIRDAWN: It is, you nailed it!
