Five minute prep – that’s all!
Whether you are getting your meal prep on, or just need a quick and easy weeknight dinner, this Mexican shredded chicken is calling. It only takes five minutes or less to throw everything in your Instant Pot or Slow Cooker, and then let it do it’s thing.

What should I have with this Mexican shredded chicken?
Whatever veggies you have on hand will do! Our favorite ways to eat this shredded chicken are in lettuce or cabbage shells or in a bowl with greens and cauliflower rice. Those options will keep your meal low carb. And if you are just trying to stay Paleo, you can also use some Siete tortillas to make tacos!
Easy does it!
You may have noticed by now, but I’m kind of a lazy cook most of the time. I like tasty, healthy food, but I want to get to the eating part as quick and simply as possible. This Mexican shredded chicken is basically the answer to that quest. With only 5 main ingredients (and one of those is sea salt – so that does that even count?!), this is simplicity at its best! Toss everything in your Instant Pot or Slow Cooker, set the timer and step away. It’s that easy!
