Crock Pot Chicken Ranch Tacos

These Crock Pot Chicken Ranch Tacos have become a regular in our house recently. Basically, I’ve just been too busy to cook much and it’s too hot to stand over a sizzling skillet. So I toss a few ingredients in my slow cooker when the kids go down for a nap, and then later that evening I have moist and yummy chicken tacos that are smothered in a delicious ranch/taco sauce. Add it to some taco shells with the fixings and voila! What an amazing an easy way to make chicken tacos for dinner. And at just 6 Points + for two tacos, I get a low calorie meal and my family gets a tasty dish they enjoy. This is also a great Weight Watchers Crock Pot Recipe for potlucks or parties. It’s so easy, and so good!

    This is a great concept but WAY too salty! It was easy, but definitely will try to use my own seasonings next time at least for the taco seasoning. I used low sodium fat free broth too…

    Made this tonight and loved it! Tho I found adding tomato paste made it a bit tastier, and next time I’ll only do half the water.

  • Judy

    My husband and I thought the chicken was way too salty! I rinsed the chicken this morning and now looking for another recipe to use it in. Any ideas?

  • yvonne

    Made these & will make again, over & over. Not only were they very easy to make, my whole family loved them. Everything I have made from this site & from Skinny Taste, we loved. I use the recipe box to create a weekly meal plan and then print out the list for shopping. So easy to stay on track & eat good food.
    Thanks for a great site!

    I just made these and they are delicious! I normally don’t eat any mexican food (or anything, for that matter) without cheese but this chicken was so good I didn’t even miss it. Great recipe.

  • Kellygirl03

    Definitely delicious! All I heard from my fiance was “mmmmmmmmmmm”! I agree though, a bit too salty for my taste. From now on I will make my own taco seasoning instead of buying the packets.

  • Dawn

    These were good, but I found them to be a little too salty. I will definitely make again with the low sodium taco seasoning and low sodium broth. Thanks for the recipe!

  • Sandy

    I had some chicken that I needed to cook, so I tried this recipe, not expecting much. BOY WAS I WRONG!!!! This made the BEST flavored chicken ever!!! I never did make tacos with it. I ate it straight up. And it’s delicious cold, too!

  • momof2girls

    Going to make this one night while on our Beach Vacation….throw the chicken in before heading to the beach….ready when we get back from a great day on the beach. Thank you for sharing this. :)

  • Angela Cleaver

    When I have to cook it all day I usually put the chicken in frozen. It’s perfectly done when I get home from work.

  • laaloosh

    I think it should be fine. Haven’t tried it myself, but given that it’s just meat, it shouldn’t be a problem.

    It must because there is no way a little bit of chicken with just the seasonings is 6 pts.
    Plus it says:Divide chicken and taco fixings evenly amongst the taco shells.
    Serving size is 2 tacos
    Each serving = 6 Points +

    Made this for dinner last night and leftovers again today for lunch. This was excellent. Very tasty and everyone loved it.

    Can this hang out in the crock pot for several hours beyond 4-6? I would be turning it on as I left for work in the hour, probably 10 hours before dinner time.

    Oh my goodness. Those were some of the best tacos I have ever had! Thank you for sharing.

  • PamB

    Making this tomorrow night!
