Ingredients

  • 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)

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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

Notes

I cooked this on low for 7 hours in my 4 quart multi cooker.
Other delicious topping ideas: additional BBQ sauce, sour cream, ranch or sliced avocado
