Slow-Cooked BBQ Chicken Tacos with Ranch Slaw

Happy March everyone!

I want to apologize for not posting in ages! It is crazy how quickly life can change in the blink of an eye! I started my Masters program in August and a few new things at work, so needless to say it was busy! Now that things are starting to settle down a little, I will be able to post more!

To start the new year out I thought I would post my Slow-Cooked BBQ chicken taco and ranch slaw recipe that I made a couple of weeks ago! I completely made this whole recipe up one day and it turned out to be amazing so I thought I would share it!

I slow-cooked the chicken, which made it very moist and tender. I started it in the morning and left it on all day in my Crockpot, so it would be an easy dinner if you are working or simply cleaning the house.

If anyone tries it and has new ideas or changes something, let me know! I love to know how everyone makes these recipes their own!

Enjoy!

Slow-Cooked BBQ Chicken Tacos with 

Ranch Slaw

BBQ Sauce Recipe:

1 1/2 cup Ketchup
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbs grape jelly
Apple cider vinegar to taste
Chili powder to taste

1. Place all ingredients into medium sauce pan.
2. Heat until all ingredients are well blended.
3. Set aside

* I would frequently taste the sauce and add more ingredients as needed*


Slow-Cooked Chicken

4- boneless, skinless chicken breasts**
BBQ sauce from above

1. Put chicken breast in slow cooker and add sauce on top.
2. Mix chicken with sauce. Make sure the chicken is well coated with the sauce.
3. Cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 6 hours.
4. After the chicken is cooked, temp should be at 165°, take chicken out of the crockpot and shred on a cutting board. ***

**I used frozen chicken breasts for this recipe. You can use thawed chicken, but I would cut the time down by at least an hour. **

***I let excess sauce drip off the chicken before I put it on the board. As I shredded the chicken, I would add some sauce and mix it in.***


Ranch Slaw

1 bag of shredded lettuce
1/4 ranch dressing
1 tbs mayo
Onion powder to taste
Apple Cider Vinegar to taste

1. Mix ranch, mayo, vinegar and onion powder in a large bowl. Taste and add ingredients as needed.
2. Add shredded lettuce to dressing mix.
3. Set aside.


Now to put it all together!! I caramelized one onion as a topping too!

1. Take a tortilla and add the shredded chicken.
2. Layer on some caramelized onions.
3. Top with Ranch Slaw.
4. Get the napkins ready and ENJOY!!
