Gluten Free Crockpot Queso Chicken Recipe Tips
The Chicken – Use anywhere from 1 to 2 pounds of chicken for this recipe.
The Queso – For the recipe, I used Great Value Shredded Queso Quesadilla Cheese that I got at Wal-Mart. If you can’t find the cheese I used, try using another cheese that melts well like Monterey Jack or Asadero Cheese. A Gluten Free Cheese Dip may work as well!
Tomato Options – Use a jarred salsa that you like in regards to taste and heat level. Mexican seasoned canned tomatoes with green chiles would work as well.
Gluten Free Taco Seasoning – If you can’t find gluten free taco seasoning, use 3 Tablespoons of my Homemade Gluten Free Fajita Seasoning.
Shredding The Chicken – Two forks shred up chicken pretty easily. A meat chopper like this one, works great as well. I use it all the time for browning ground beef and bulk sausage.
Serving It Up – Serve Gluten Free Crockpot Queso Chicken as a dip, in hard taco shells with taco toppings or over rice.
