Ingredients Needed To Make Slow Cooker Nacho Chicken:

3 or 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 packet taco seasoning- use “Hot” if you want to add more heat
1 can Rotel Tomatoes with green chiles
1 (9-ounce) can jalapeno cheddar cheese dip
pickled jalapeno pepper slices

The chicken, taco seasoning, and Rotel tomatoes get added to a 6-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours. Drain off some of the liquid so that the shredded chicken won’t be watery. Shred the chicken with 2 forks. Add the can of cheddar cheese dip, cover and cook on LOW for 15 minutes to melt the cheese. Stir well and sprinkle with sliced pickled jalapeno peppers.
