  1. Dinner tonight 🙂 smells amazing in the pot!

  2. 5 stars
    I made this for dinner last night and it was really good and everyone went back for seconds. So very quick and easy to prepare. The leftovers I ate for lunch tasted even better. The chicken tastes EXACTLY like the chicken in the taco salads I love from my favorite Mexican restaurant. I had more liquid than I wanted and had to drain some off, but I am thinking that if I doubled the liquid and seasoning next time, I could make a really good chicken tortilla soup. There are so many possibilities with this recipe. It is going straight in my recipe file to use over and over again. Thanks so much for sharing this.

  3. Hi there!! When you use the ranch packets, did you use the dips ranch or the dressing ranch packets? A lot of people don’t realize hidden valley makes several kinds of ranch packets. Thank you!!

  4. Hello!
    Looking forward to trying out this recipe as it looks DELICIOUS!
    Question: Being that I work an 8 hour day would it be okay to cook on low for that long? Or can I start with frozen chicken to increase the cooking time?

    1. I would start with frozen chicken and cook on low if you are going to be away that long 🙂 Let us know how it turns out!

  5. Hello I was wondering if you put in fresh chicken breast or frozen?

    1. How the recipe is written, it is for fresh. But if you want to use frozen you can do so and just cook for longer.
