I first made this in our hotel while waiting on a house in Georgia, and we loved them. Side note- I would highly encourage you to keep your crock pot with you when moving. It made our ten day hotel stay much better! My sister found this recipe somewhere, and all of our family enjoys it. Plus it is simple, easy, and delicious. What more could you want?
1 taco seasoning packet
3 frozen chicken breasts (I used 2 and some tenders)
1 can of Rotel
1/8 c. Olive Oil
1/8 c. Water
Cover the bottom of the crockpot with the taco seasoning. Lay frozen chicken on top. Pour Rotel over chicken. Pour Oil and Water over everything. Cook on Low for 4-6 hours. If home, turn meat half way, but not necessary. Shred chicken with a fork and stir into juices. Let cook/simmer for 30 minutes more (I didn't have time for this part and was still great).
Serve on tortillas with a shredded cheese, and desired toppings.

A Shepherd's Pie Twist
I really am alive and starting to cook again! Last week I actually made a new recipe for the first time in several months, and we both enjoyed it! I always looked down upon Shepherds Pie for some reason it seemed blah to me, but this was a good twist.
1 pound ground beef (or turkey, or a combination)
1 handful of diced onions (I keep a bag in the freezer of diced onions for cooking) [more or less for your liking, it's just to season the meat]
1 cup bbq sauce
Frozen corn [original recipe had 1 can corn]
Frozen Peas [about 1 can's worth...]
1 package instant mashed potatoes
Shredded cheese & Fritos optional
Cook ground beef and the onions in a skillet, until beef is brown; drain well. [I also always season my ground beef/turkey mixture with some of the following: garlic powder, salt, pepper, onion powder, parsley, oregano or red pepper] Stir in barbecue sauce, corn and peas. Heat to boiling, adding a little water if needed; then reduce heat to low to keep warm. Meanwhile, cook potatoes as directed on package. [I used the betty crocker packets because that's what I had on hand] Adding some butter, and/or milk never hurts potatoes. Spoon potatoes onto center of beef mixture; sprinkle cheese over potatoes and beef mixture if desired; serve with Fritos. This is where the original recipe ended however, I can't follow recipes (I think we've already established this...) and I was waiting (with no end in sight) on a certain hungry soldier to get home. So, I put the whole pan in the oven on warm until he got home for dinner. Either way, enjoy!
