Ingredients
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 packet gluten-free taco seasoning
1 packet ranch seasoning powder
2 cups gluten-free chicken broth
12 gluten-free hard taco shells, for serving
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
Sprinkle the gluten-free taco seasoning and ranch seasoning evenly over the chicken.

Once the chicken is fully cooked and tender, shred it directly in the crockpot using two forks.
Stir the shredded chicken back into the seasoned cooking liquid.
Allow the chicken to sit for several minutes so it can absorb more of the broth and flavor.
Divide the chicken evenly among 12 gluten-free hard taco shells and add your favorite toppings.

Meal Prep and Storage
This Taco Ranch Chicken works well for meal prep because one batch can be used several ways throughout the week. Portion the cooked chicken ahead of time and use it for tacos one night, rice bowls another night, or salads for lunch.
You can also double the recipe and freeze the extra chicken in individual portions for future lunches and busy weeknight dinners.
