This Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken is the best recipe ever! It only has 3 ingredients, cooks in the slow cooker and makes the most versatile chicken! You can use this chicken on everything from nachos, to tacos, burritos to quesadillas, and my favorite, burrito bowls!
Ingredients
2poundsboneless skinless chicken breasts
116-ounce jarsalsa
1envelopetaco seasoning(1 ounce)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker in an even layer.
Top with taco seasoning and salsa.
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high 3-4 hours, or until chicken is cooked through (reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit) and shreds easily.
Use two forks to shred the chicken. Stir the chicken back into the sauce and serve.
Notes
Serve in tacos, burritos, lettuce wraps, or over rice.
I like to garnish our salsa chicken with cilantro and serve with a quezze of fresh lime juice.
You can spice this up by using hot salsa or adding diced jalapenos to the slow cooker.
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
