What about the sauce curddling ? Any ideas on how to prevent that or reduce that?
Tamara says
Wondering if it could be cooked on high for less time? Anyone tried? I got started late!

I haven't tried this recipe yet but can't wait to do so! I just wanted to pop on and say how EXTREMELY grateful I am for your site and your willingness to share your recipes with us. I am trying to adopt a lower-carb lifestyle, and as someone who gets easily overwhelmed when it comes to meal planning and cooking, your site is an invaluable resource! Thank you so much!

This looks so great and I'm excited to try it! I've already made my taco seasoning but I'm a little unclear on how much to use in this recipe. Do I use the entire "making" of the taco seasoning recipe as stated in the chicken recipe or just the 2 TBLs/per pound of meat as noted in the seasoning recipe? Thanks!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
The seasoning recipes is talking about mixing it with ground meat for tacos. For this recipe, you use the entire batch
Tammy says
I made this the other day and it is SO good. The first meal we had it over a little rice. It was thin, but perhaps because I used frozen chicken breasts. The taste is marvelous. A little bit of heat to it, but not 'hot'. I shredded the chicken up for the next meal(there are only 2 of us, so we got several meals out of one batch)and used it in low carb tortillas. SO good! I did use low sodium store bought taco seasoning, and used just a couple of teaspoons. I'll be making this recipe at least once a month. Thank you Kyndra!

So happy you all enjoyed it. Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know.

I've made something similar but never included dairy (sour cream, yogurt, etc). I always thought the long cooking time would make the dairy inedible. Based on your reviews I am looking forward to trying this! We like Mexican-inspired meals so I think I might shred the chicken and use it as a filling for enchiladas using corn tortillas. We trend toward eating low carb but indulge once in a while. I think this would be awesome for that! (has anyone tried this using chicken thighs? I know that adds more fat. Just wondering. Thanks!!)
Peace Love and Low Carb says
I think it would still be just as good, if not better with chicken thighs. Added bonus that you can usually get them for cheaper too. Win/win!
Julia Russell says
Do you drain the tomatoes or use the juice? I am sure it is delicious either way!...Thank you for all of your hard work on this website...Your t-shirts are adorable too!!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Just add in the whole can 🙂
Wendy says
Oh this sounds great, I usually make mine with just salsa and chicken never thought of adding the sour cream can't wait to make it again now.
Also thank you for your site, I use my fitness pal to figure out my macros on all my recipes because your ingredients may be a little different than my ingredients and if one is taking the time to live a healthy low carb life figuring out your own nutritional values is just another part of the process imo 🙂
Michelle says
I made this today, really yummy! I wonder if I used too much of the taco seasoning, though. I made the entire batch and threw it in, but my final product looks sooo much darker than the picture! Was I just supposed to use a serving like I would have for taco meat? Thanks!
amym says
I made this for dinner last night and used 3 pounds of chicken. It was devoured. .
Ericka says
Did you by chance alter the amount of anything, or did you keep everything the same? I have close to 3 pounds and I also purchased a taco spice packet.. any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
