What you Need for Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken Nachos
Chicken Breasts or Thighs
Chili powder
Cumin
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Salt
Pepper
Oregano
Green chilis
1 Can Rotel

Your Topping choices will take your nachos from good to totally amazing. We love to layer the cheese, don’t scrimp. Every chip deserves some cheese. I personally think black beans are extra delicious. Here is a list of toppings we like to use..
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Sliced jalapeno
- Olives
- Fresh chopped tomatoes
- Corn
- Black beans
- Salsa
- Sour cream
- Avocado or Guacamole
I have been eating a little bit more dairy-free and Paleo so I love my shredded chicken on a lettuce wrap and just omit the cheese and sour cream! This chicken is so yummy I don’t even miss the cheese. Delish!

Adding this to the menu this week!
So flavorful, we loved these nachos as a late night snack 🙂
Loved this recipe! Flavor was good my whole family loved it. Will make them again!
Kelly, I have used chicken breasts. They should be done in about 4 hours.
Can never go wrong with shredded chicken in taco form! So good and easy to make. 🙂
This turned out great! My kids really liked them.
Ahhh thanks Maryann!
Hi. Wondering if I could substitute skinless chicken breasts for the chicken thighs? I am sure you probably can. However, the time will need to be adjusted because the white meat cooks quicker. Any ideas on timing for the skinless boneless chicken breasts? Thanks!
I love your recipes
looks fantastic.. want to make for family on friday. what size can of rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies and will chicken breasts work as well or more flavor with the thighs? thanks.
This sounds great.. I am making these tonight!!!
