Tic Toc in the Crock (taco chicken in the pot)


The other day I was feeling overzealous. Woke up that morning(ish) deciding that I was going to do all things wife/mom/and housekeeper of the home and begin right away..I cleaned our entire bedroom and made the BED, tromped downstairs and organized my kitchen and straightened the living room. I played hard with Benjamin (we chased each other around the house, but he has a car so he was much faster, and wrote a letter to a friend in Georgia all before one o'clock in the afternoon. I am not usually like this. So I took it a step further and started thinking supper plans...I figured, if I prepare it now and throw it in the crock pot, I get to forget about it and supper will be a cinch!
Taco chicken is super easy and you literally just toss everything in a pot and crank it up to high for 6 hours, and HELLO free time!

you'll need:
3 large boneless chicken breast
1/8 cup white vinegar-whatever you've got handy
1 capful lemon juice
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tablespoon garlic, minced-we're going for CONVENIENCE here, people!
1 red chili
1/4 cup Jack's salsa
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 small onion chopped

Drop all ingredients into crock pot and turn on high for 6 hours. Once you are ready to serve, shred chicken and make sure everything is all stirred up. Serve with warm corn tortillas, chips, and all the works!!
