Simple Spicy Salsa Crock-Pot Chicken!

Picture
Picture
I am by no means a "crock-pot connoisseur", but I think I may start using my crock-pot a LOT more now that I have made this super simple + clean chicken!  A coworker of mine introduced me to Crock Pot Salsa Chicken, and informed me that you only need a jar of salsa, some garlic and chicken.  The fact that I needed less than 5 ingredients was exciting, since I am all about simplicity :).  The first time I tried making this chicken, I actually made two separate batches of salsa chicken (one with spicy salsa and one with mild salsa) .  I cooked the first batch of chicken on high heat for less time, and the other batch of chicken on low heat for a longer amount of time.   In my opinion, the spicy salsa and cooking the chicken on low heat for a longer period of time was my favorite.  But, the other batch was just as tasty too! So whether you have 4 hours or 8 hours, this is a fabulous meal that can be eaten at any time of day and served with any sides of your choice.

Spicy Salsa Chicken was used in my lunch meals that I prepped for the whole work week. I paired my chicken with half of a baked sweet potato and chopped kale.  Before eating I sprinkled some cilantro, topped with fresh avocado and lemon juice.  My husband had the same for his lunches as well, and he loved it! #husbandapproved  We also enjoyed this chicken on our homemade pizzas we make every Tuesday since we still had some chicken leftover.  I told you I made two batches...that's a lot of chicken haha.  You could also eat this tasty chicken in a whole grain tortilla for chicken tacos or make a chicken burrito bowl with whole grain rice, beans, and salsa, yum!   However you decide to eat it, you won't be disappointed.  

Here is the simple recipe for Spicy Salsa Crock Pot Chicken.  Enjoy! 

Spicy Salsa Crock Pot Chicken
serves 6-8
​

Ingredients: 
  • 5-6 Organic Chicken Breasts
  • 1  16 oz jar of All Natural Salsa (Spicy or Mild) I used Green Mountain Gringo from Giant. 
  • 2-3 whole cloves of Garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Cumin

  1. Place chicken breasts in the crock-pot or slow cooker. 
  2. Add cloves of garlic, cumin, and salsa.
  3. Rinse out your jar of salsa with a little bit of water to get the jar clean, and add to crock-pot as well. 
  4. Place the lid on your crock-pot or slow cooker and set to low heat (for about 6-7 hours) or on high heat (for about 4-5 hours) depending on how much time you have. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of your meat or use a fork to see if chicken is cooked through when finished.
  5. Once chicken has cooked, use two forks to shred your chicken in the crock-pot. 

​Serve chicken with your favorite sides or use it to meal prep your lunches for the busy work week.  
​

I hope you enjoy the simplicity of cooking this chicken! 

                        Much love,
                                   Jillian

I haven't tasted a crock pot chicken salsa yet. This recipe is definitely enticing me and piqued my interest. My girlfriend will have a fun time cooking this new recipe. I don't possess most of the ingredients listed though. I should start buying them and prepare for our next cook off, as we will be focusing on your new recipe.
