Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken
This recipe is so simple it’s elementary. For real. If you screw this up, we need to have a little talk.
Here are the 3 words you’ll need for this recipe: Crockpot, salsa, chicken.
Literally… pour your favorite prepared salsa over boneless, skinless chicken breasts and turn on your slow cooker.
Shred the chicken with a fork when it’s done and stir in your slow cooker to combine the salsa and chicken. Serve with chips or on tortillas with your favorites, like cheese, diced tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream… YOU NAME IT! How can you go wrong with basically a 1 minute prep time?!
This recipe is also freezer-friendly. Since it’s just Baby (my dog!) and myself, I place the leftovers in a freezer bag and save for later. How much easier does it get? 🙂

Such a great method for an incredibly easy meal. I could eat chicken tacos every single week!
Thanks, Valerie! It was delicious!
Amy, if I am making double the recipe, does it effect the cook time or I can still do 4 hrs on high?
Hi Josh, as long as your slow cooker is 2/3 to 3/4 full, it should take around the same time. I found that info here. Happy Cinco de Mayo and hope you enjoy the salsa chicken! 🙂
