The overwhelming suggestion was more recipes and more Charlot (she provided enough material last night for a whole week of blogs!). So today I am going with a quick and easy mom on the go recipe. This is one of those things that you throw in the crockpot early morning and whether you are gone 4-5 hours or eleven like I was the other day it is still going to be delicious!

This recipe makes a large amount, several meals for our family. The meat is great to use in other ways as well quesadillas, enchiladas, taco salad. I find variety is the best way to keep meals interesting in our home. Which isn’t always easy but if I can make one thing that is used in multiple applications it is a homerun in my book!

In the recipe you will see I use boneless skinless chicken thighs just to change it up a bit. Feel free to use breast meat if you prefer.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Tacos

Meat

9 boneless skinless chicken thighs (I normally just use the big pack from the fresh meat case)
1 packet of Ranch Seasoning

1 packet of Taco Seasoning

1 cup of Chicken Broth/Stock



Toppings

Diced tomatoes

Shredded lettuce (I used romaine because that’s what was in the fridge)

Shredded Cheddar Cheese (Pepper jack would be awesome)

4-6 pieces of bacon cooked to crisp and diced

Ranch Dressing

Taco Shells
Put all ingredients in your slow cooker, turn on low allow to cook all day. When you get home take two forks and shred the meat!

After you have shredded the meat prepare your toppings and heat your shells in the oven. Assemble the tacos with meat on bottom, then cheese (it melts a bit that way), tomatoes, lettuce, ranch and sprinkle the bacon on top. Or assemble how you want just ENJOY!

Happy Wednesday!!! And thanks again for reading; it makes this whole thing a bunch more fun!
