Crockpot Chicken Tacos

This is a really yummy, and fairly low calorie, recipe. I don't add the oil and I use frozen chicken tenders (about 10-12). Approximately 6 servings.

3 frozen chicken breasts
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 can Rotel canned Pico de Gallo
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup of olive oil (optional)
1 can black or pinto or kidney beans (optional)

In crockpot add packet of taco seasoning (or 1/4 cup). Place frozen chicken on taco seasoning on bottom of crockpot. Next add the Rotel (or may be substituted for fresh pico- it's just more expensive and I think the Rotel is really good). Add water and oil next. If you want to add in the beans drain and rinse them first and layer them in the crockpot over the Rotel. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours. Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it then put it back in, stir it and cook for another 30 minutes.

Serve with:

Warmed flour tortillas
Lettuce
Cheese
Tomatos
and, of course, guacamole!

Enjoy!
