Recipe Favorite: Crockpot Salsa Chicken







All you need are 2 ingredients to make this slow cooker shredded chicken -- good salsa and chicken!  Our current salsa favorite is the Simply Balanced Organic Roasted Restaurant Style Salsa from Target.  You can use this chicken for tacos or you can make your own burrito bowls.  Whatever you want!  I've listed a few ideas for things to serve it with below.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 16 oz. jar favorite salsa

Directions:

Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker and cover with salsa. Toss until the chicken is covered.

Cover and cook on high for 4 hours (or low for 6-8 hours), or until the chicken shreds easily with a fork. Shred the chicken in the slow cooker and toss with the remaining salsa and juices until well-mixed. Serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days (or freeze!).

Additional Suggested Items for Serving (options are limitless!):
  • Flour or Corn Tortilla
  • Hard Taco Shells
  • Cheese
  • Lettuce
  • Additional Salsa
  • Lime Wedges
  • Guacamole
  • Mexican Rice
  • Quinoa
  • Bell peppers (roasted)
  • Sour Cream (or substitute greek yogurt) 
  • Hot sauce
  • Corn
  • Pico de Gallo
