Instructions

Add chicken to slow cooker.
Sprinkle Ranch, garlic powder, & onion powder over chicken.

Cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Chicken is done when it can easily be shredded with a fork.
Shred chicken, with 2 forks, directly in the slow cooker. Then give it a good stir to get all the juices combined.

Measure 1/4 cup of shredded chicken and place in whole romaine leaf.
Top with your favorite taco toppings!

Notes

Nutritional information is for the shredded chicken only. Any toppings need to be calculated and added separately.

Make sure to use a salsa with no added sugar. I love Pace Picante!

If you need to up your fats for the day, stir in 1-2 cups of shredded cheese to the shredded chicken. Let it cook on low for 10 minutes until it's nice and cheesy. Make sure to recalculate your nutritional facts!

I love to double this recipe! Freeze half for later use or use it later in the week for a different recipe.
