Soft Chicken Tacos. Soft Chicken Tacos "I came up with this healthy chicken and bean filling for tacos since my husband needs to watch his cholesterol level," relates Ruth Peterson of Jenison, Michigan. "Sliced radishes make a unique crunchy topping." My family loves these tacos. The chicken filling cooks in the slow-cooker, so it's convenient to throw it together before I leave for work.
