Ingredients

  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet of taco seasoning or my homemade mix
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • sea or kosher salt and fresh black pepper
  • 1 pound boneless chicken breasts
  • 14 - 16 ounces plain salted tortilla chips
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese white or yellow or a mix
  • ½ cup sliced olives
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon snipped scallions

Any other toppings you like:

  • shredded lettuce
  • diced onions
  • pickled jalapenos
  • diced fresh avocado
  • black beans sprinkle these on before heating

For serving:

  • sour cream
  • guacamole
  • salsa

Instructions

  • In a 4 quart slow-cooker whisk the broth and taco seasoning together. Stir in the onion and garlic.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper and nestle them into the slow-cooker.
  • Cook 4 hours on high or 6 - 8 on low.
  • Remove the chicken breasts to a cutting board and let them sit for 5 - 10 minutes.
  • Cut or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Add them back to the slow-cooker and toss with the juices.
  • If the chicken is very juicy let it cook on high with the lid off to evaporate some of it off.
  • On a large baking sheet or 2 medium sheets lay the tortilla chips out.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the chicken over the chips. Sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and the chips are hot 10 - 15 minutes.
  • Top with the olives, tomatoes and scallions plus any other toppings you like.
  • Serve with sour cream, guacamole and/or salsa.
