pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1
envelope (1 oz) Old El Paso® taco seasoning mix
1
tablespoon packed brown sugar
1
can (4.5 oz) Old El Paso® chopped green chiles
1
cup Green Giant® Valley Fresh Steamers® Niblets® frozen corn (from 12 oz bag), thawed
1
can (10 oz) Old El Paso® enchilada sauce
4
medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
1
package (4.6 oz) Old El Paso® taco shells, warmed if desired
3
cups shredded lettuce
1
medium tomato, chopped (3/4 cup)

  • 1Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place chicken thighs in cooker. Sprinkle with taco seasoning mix and brown sugar; toss to coat. Mix in green chiles, corn and 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce. Refrigerate remaining enchilada sauce.
  • 2Cover and cook on Low heat setting 6 to 7 hours.
  • 3Place chicken on cutting board; use 2 forks to pull chicken into shreds. Return chicken to cooker. Stir in green onions. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 15 minutes.
  • 4Heat remaining enchilada sauce. Serve chicken mixture in taco shells with lettuce, tomatoes and warm enchilada sauce.

I got this recipe from a Betty Crocker email.  I used chicken breasts instead of thighs.  I also used Kroger brand instead of name brand.  The tacos have a nice flavor and the corn is a nice touch.
