This Slow Cooker Chicken + Uber Popular Dip Is a Match Made in Dinner Heaven

I love this Spinach Artichoke Chicken so much. I made it again recently and thought…what other “dips” could I do with chicken in the slow cooker.

Queso……..DUHHHHHHHHH! 

I adore queso. 

It’s mandatory lunch choice when we have team meetings. 

And it gets demolished whenever I serve it with a gathering or just with the boys. 

Of course it will be fabulous with chicken in the slow cooker.

This is perfect with…

• flour tortillas – tacos
• corn tortillas – street tacos
• giant flour tortilla – chimichanga
• tortilla chips – nachos
• tostada shell – tostada
• corn tortillas + enchilada sauce – shredded chicken enchiladas

You get the idea. Here’s the “base” recipe for the Queso Chicken in the Slow Cooker. 

How to Make Slow Cooker Queso Chicken Tacos

Place the chicken breasts (and/or thighs) into the base of the slow cooker. Sprinkle a few pinches of salt and pepper on top. 

In a mixing bowl, toss together the cheese cubes, diced tomatoes with green chilies and it’s juices, and the taco seasoning.

Pour over the top of the chicken.

Set on low for 8 hours.

Once finished cooking, shred the chicken into the cheese and tomato sauce. 

It will look like this. Season with more salt and pepper, to taste, if needed.

Spoon into tortillas, or serve however you prefer! 

Enjoy!
