Raise your hand if you’re guilty of spending a whole night with your hubs or girlfriends binge watching a t.v. series. I can tell you that it’s pretty much a monthly event around these parts – sometimes even weekly.

Before we had little ones, my husband and I would park ourselves in front of the television and lose ourselves for hours upon hours in a must-see t.v. show. The perfect marathon t.v. night is never complete unless you have your favorite drinks and eats to accompany your shows.

Shredded Chicken Nachos

A super easy nacho topping is shredded chicken, cooked in a crockpot over a few hours. I love shredded chicken because it is juicy and delicious!

My sisters and I are all about food that’s filling, but easy to eat – like loaded nachos. I cook chicken in the crockpot with salsa and taco seasoning all day on low in preparation for our marathon. While it’s cooking, I whip up an easy salsa using canned tomatoes that tastes just like something from a restaurant.

It is easy to make shredded chicken nachos and homemade salsa for your next marathon t.v. night!

Shredded Mexican Chicken

1.5 lbs boneless chicken breast
1 packet taco seasoning
1 jar salsa

1. Place chicken breasts in a crockpot. Cover with taco seasoning and salsa.
2. Cook on low for 6 hours. Use two forks to shred apart the chicken.

Restaurant Style Homemade Salsa

1 large can diced tomatoes
1 lime
1 jalapeno
1 bunch cilantro

1. Puree the tomatoes in a food processor.
2. Dice the jalapeno (seeds removed if you want it less spicy, seeds in if you want some kick), roughly chop the cilantro, and cut the lime.
3. Add the ingredients to the tomatoes and mix together.
4. Allow the salsa to sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Enjoy!

Loaded Nachos with Shredded Chicken and Homemade Salsa

Layer nacho chips with your favorite toppings. We love cheese, olives, shredded chicken and fresh cilantro. Other topping ideas: sour cream, guacamole, fresh avocado, fresh jalapenos, lettuce, or anything else you fancy.
