This is one of my absolute favorite slow cooker recipes and it is by far the easiest chicken recipe I have ever made. If you haven’t made it yet, you have to! I originally posted this recipe in 2015 but wanted to republish it to make sure none of you miss it!
Many of you know that I have an obsession with my slow cooker. I’ve always loved it. The past two years, it has become a pivotal part of my life. This is my slow cooker – I adore it! I got to the point where I was tired of throwing frozen food into my oven every night because I was so tired and did not have enough to to prepare a home cooked meal. So, I’ve made it a habit to use it at least 3 or 4 times a week and find that my dinner prep is so much easier when I’ve already got it cooking in my slow cooker!
I stumbled upon this 3 Ingredient Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken recipe in 2015 and after testing it out, I made it 3 times in a week! In fact, I have it cooking right now. Hubby loves it. And even my son eats all of it (he’s become finicky with chicken lately). I am trying to avoid eating much sugar so I use the chicken to make a Chicken Salad. Hubby will usually use the chicken to make tacos or burritos. And my friend Amy had the great idea of using this chicken to make Chicken Nachos! Yum.
This 3 Ingredient Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken is SO good. And it is SO easy to prepare.
Lay the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the slow cooker and pour the jar of salsa on top as well as 1/3 of a pack of the taco seasoning. You can use more taco seasoning if you like. One of my upcoming goals is to make homemade taco seasoning so that I can control the sugar and the sodium. But until then, I use 1/3 of a pack and it gives plenty of flavor.
Cook on low for 8 hours. Be prepared – your house will smell amazing.
Once the chicken has cooked, use two forks to easily shred it. Add the chicken to tacos or burritos or salads. Serve with rice and/or beans. And enjoy.
