Making Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Taco Salad

Taco salad might seem familiar, but BBQ chicken in a taco salad is a delightful twist. The chicken is prepared in the slow cooker, which makes this recipe simple and hands-off. The shredded BBQ chicken is fantastic on the salad, and leftovers are also excellent for sandwiches or served as a main dish.
