Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos
Ingredients
  • 2 cubes chicken bouillon
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large white onion, diced
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, diced
  • 1 (4 ounce) can fire-roasted diced green chiles
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon Mexican-style seasoning blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic and herb seasoning blend
  • 1/4 teaspoon chile powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 limes, zested and juiced
  • 1 orange, zested and juiced
  • 4 cloves garlic
Instructions
1
Combine the chicken bouillon with boiling water in a large saucepan to create a flavorful base.
2
Heat a generous amount of oil in a medium-sized pan over an intermediate heat setting. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes transparent and develops a rich brown color, approximately 5 minutes. Add the jalapenos to the pan and continue cooking until they become soft, about 5 minutes. Next, add the green chiles to the pan and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
3
In a separate bowl, combine the salt, cilantro, Mexican seasoning, cumin, basil, oregano, garlic powder, seasoning blend, chile powder, paprika, mustard powder, and black pepper to create a unique flavor profile.
4
Trim the chicken as necessary to ensure it is even in size. Coat all sides of the chicken with the seasoning blend, making sure to cover every area evenly.
5
Transfer the onion mixture from the pan to a slow cooker. Add chicken broth, freshly squeezed juice and zest from the limes and orange, and minced garlic cloves. Place the chicken on top of the onion mixture in the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker and cook on a low setting until the chicken is no longer pink inside and extremely tender, typically 4 to 6 hours.
