Instructions
 

To make the cream of chicken soup:

  • Meanwhile, whisk together milk and flour until smooth. Pour into saucepan, whisking continuously, until the mixture bubbles and thickens, about 1 minute.

To make the taco seasoning:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together chlii powder, cumin, paprika, coriander, cayenne pepper, and salt to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon).

To make the chicken tacos:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, taco seasoning, and salsa.
  • In the bottom of a slow cooker, add chicken breasts and top with salsa mixture. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or LOW for 6 to 8 hours.
  • Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred with two forks. Add back to slow cooker and stir in sour cream until evenly blended.
  • Serve with tortillas, shredded cheese, and scallions if desired.
