This Slow Cooker Ranch Chicken Tacos dish will be a hit on 5 Dollar Dinners!!!

This shredded chicken is so simple, yet soooooooooooo gooooooooooooood.

(Sorry, sometimes I get carried away with letters, and other times with punctuation. If you only knew how many !!!!’s I’ve deleted in almost 10 years of blogging online. Like for reals, my friends are always teasing me. But I’m just a happy person, and I like to communicate my happy with !!!!s. Because if you heard me say what I’m writing, you’d hear the tone and know the !!!s. But it’s tougher to communicate the happy, and the tone with just written word and letters. Whoa, I’ve digressed!)

Chicken – stock – taco seasoning – ranch dressing mix – it’s a magical combination.

Slow cook that all together, then shred and add some Ranch-based Coleslaw on top….YYYYYYUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMM!

Enjoy!
