Equipment
- 1 Large crockpot *Mine is 7 quart size
Ingredients
- 4 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts *See note below
- 1 24oz jar salsa *Use your favorite! Green or red!
Recipe notes:
Chicken: Boneless, skinless breasts or thighs will work! I use 4 medium chicken breasts or 6 smaller thighs (around 2.5 to 3 pounds of meat total).Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in your crockpot.
- Pour salsa over chicken and use a spoon to spread it evenly over the meat.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low heat for 5-6. Once the chicken shreds apart super easily, it's done.
- Shred chicken right in the crockpot, do not drain salsa and juices. This will make your salsa chicken extra flavorful.
- Serve in tacos, taco salad, taco soup, burritos, burrito bowls, enchiladas, quesadillas, tostadas and more. Enjoy!
Storage:
- Transfer leftover salsa chicken to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
