Calories 604kcal
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken (I used 1/2 breasts and 1/2 thighs)
- 2 tablespoons Kickin Chicken Seasoning (or other bottles chicken seasoning blend)
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce + 1/2 cup BBQ sauce for later
- 16 oz bag frozen corn (thawed)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro
- salt & pepper
- 1 can crispy fried onions (small can)
- 12 corn tortillas
Add chicken to slow cooker and sprinkle well with seasoning blend
Top with 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8
Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred using 2 forks
Add a ladle or two of the cooking juices and discard remaining (you want it to be juicy but not swimming)
Toss with additional 1/2 cup BBQ sauce and return to slow cooker on keep warm setting until ready to serve
Add thawed corn to large bowl
Add remaining ingredients and toss until combined, adding salt and pepper to taste
Heat corn tortillas according to package directions and serve loaded up with chicken, salsa and crispy onions or as desired
I cooked this on low for 7 hours in my 4 quart multi cooker.
