Hi, Sheena! I’ve never tested this taco recipe specifically with chicken thighs instead, but I don’t see any reason why thighs wouldn’t work similarly well. Note, however, that thighs are higher in fat and calories and may yield a slightly more wet, loose consistency once you’ve shredded them at the end of cooking. But, they should still be delicious. Let me know what you think! ~Shelley

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breast?

Hi, Matthew! Great question. The short answer is that you can make these in the Instant Pot (instead of the Crock-Pot) with a high-pressure setting and a time of 15 minutes. But, you also need to add just a little extra water. You can check out the full details in my recipe for Instant Pot Chicken Tacos. (I don’t know if you’re interested, but that Instant Pot version also discusses how you can adjust the recipe cook time if you want to start with frozen chicken breasts. While it isn’t considered safe to start with frozen meat in a slow cooker, it’s actually ok to use frozen meat in Instant Pots – usually with a little adjustment of cooking time.) Hope that helps – enjoy! ~Shelley

So glad these taco were a hit, Leigh – even for a family that normally goes for the typical beef tacos! Thanks for the great feedback! 😀 ~Shelley

I decided to try this as a healthier option for taco night. I used restaurant style salsa. I Served them with fat-free refried beans, cheese, taco sauce, plenty of freshly sliced avocado, shredded green leaf lettuce and low-fat sour cream. We ate them as tostadas. My man and daughter were skeptical because I usually do the regular beef taco kit, but they loved it. Since there is only three of us, I thought about cutting the recipe in half. I’m glad I didn’t. We will be eating the left overs in a couple of days. The only thing I may do differently next time is make my own seasoning instead of store-bought. Either way, so simple and so delicious.

Hi, Mo! Absolutely – leftovers freeze great. I actually like to portion out individual servings into separate baggies so I can thaw just enough for a single portion of chicken tacos at a time, as needed. Great for meal prep and quick meals when I don’t know how many family members will be around at dinnertime! Enjoy! 😀 ~Shelley

Can left overs be frozen?
