72 Shares

Can you believe I forgot this was ONLY two ingredients? Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken is exactly what it sounds like. Salsa and Chicken and oh so easy, but it doesn't taste so simple. This main is layered with flavour and can be used in so many ways. Toss it all in the crockpot in the morning, grab some soft tortillas on your way home and dinner is ready!

You guys I’m totally digging this two-ingredient main dish. Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken is exactly what it sounds like. Chicken and salsa slow-cooked until the meat falls apart. The salsa soaks into every fibre of the chicken making this one of the best taco-style chickens, I’ve come across in a long time. It’s perfectly flavoured with just a little spice and as easy as they come.

Let’s talk for a minute about how to make this. I’m sure you’re thinking, it’s two ingredients I’ve got this handled. And you probably do! But I still want to give you a few pointers. This is a great way to use up that frozen chicken that’s been in the freezer for way too long! And the salsa, go for the gusto and get the hot salsa. The heat mellows out over time and you end up with just the right amount of spice! Trust me on this.

HOW TO make Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken

INGREDIENTS

2 lbs. chicken breast
24 oz. jar of salsa

INSTRUCTIONS

Toss everything into a slow cooker and set to low and let cook for about 8 hours.
Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it with two forks. Add it back into the liquid and stir to reincorporate it all together.
Serve it hot. Freeze any leftovers after a few days.

This is one of those super easy recipes you forget only has two ingredients. The best part — there are multiple ways to use this shredded chicken. Spoon it into tacos, layer it in nachos, mix it into a Mexican style pasta and my favourite way, melted with cheddar in a delicious grilled cheese sandwich. Yum! This salsa chicken is a great addition to any meal you add it to and so easy. Get this started first thing tomorrow morning and dream all day about the possibilities!
