Lemon Chili Chicken Tacos (Crockpot)

These shredded chicken tacos are awesome! I scored big time at the market and found a 10 pound bag of chicken (leg quarters) for $3.99! I always find great bargains at my local Fry’s market, they discount their meat and produce a few days before the expiration date. A few of my friends have lemon trees, so I also have tons of lemons right now - and I used 4 lemons in this recipe. This recipe is best to start early in the morning (I started at 8am) so it will be ready at dinnertime. You’ll need a few things:

4 pounds of chicken with bone (4 chicken leg quarters)

4 lemons

4 cloves of fresh garlic

1 slice of onion

1 half bell pepper

1+  hot pepper -optional (I used a serrano pepper)

1 Tbsp+ olive oil (I use olive oil blend)

4 Tbsp taco seasoning + 1 teaspoon

1 teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

corn tortillas

taco toppings: tomato, avocado, lettuce, salsa

First, get the crockpot ready by turning the crockpot on and add about a Tbsp of oil. Then peel and smash the garlic, chop up the onion, bell pepper and hot pepper. Add these in with the oil. Add the juice from 2 lemons and 4 tablespoons of taco seasoning. (My taco seasoning recipe is also on my blog, or you could use 2 packets of taco seasoning). The hot pepper doesn't really make this spicy, it just adds more flavor in the crockpot.

Add the chicken and mix it up well, so the seasonings are well-coated. Then add water, enough to just cover the chicken.

Cook on high in crockpot for 6 hours. Stir occasionally, maybe once or twice.

Then turn the crockpot off and let it cool for a few hours before you de-bone it. It will be so tender, the bones and skin will fall right off. Then pour into a colander to drain and help you sort through and de-bone. 

Sort the chicken by hand, it will take about 10 mins to pick the bones and skin out. Then turn the crockpot back on to the warm setting. Add the chicken, the juice from 2 lemons, about a teaspoon of oil, 1 teaspoon taco seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and mix it up. 

Let it warm up and “marinate” on the warm setting for about half an hour, then stir it with a spoon to shred it.

Make your tacos and add whatever toppings you like! I added lettuce, tomato, avocado, and green salsa.

Enjoy! These tacos are so tasty! This recipe feeds about 4 people. If you need to multiply, just figure 1 pound (of bone-in chicken) per person. If you wanted to save some time, you could also make this recipe with boneless/skinless chicken, but it doesn't taste as good and comes out a little drier.
