Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 4 hours
Total Time 4 hours 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 ea chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 1 jar salsa
  • 1 TBS Taco Seasoning

Instructions

  1. Add chicken breasts to crock pot.

  2. Sprinkle taco seasoning over top of chicken then cover chicken breasts with taco seasoning. 

  3. Cook on low for 6 hours.  After 6 hours, shred chicken using two forks and use salsa to thoroughly coat all chicken.

  4. Keep chicken warm by setting slow cooker to warm. 

Recipe Notes

  1. Technically, frozen chicken breasts should be thawed before adding to crock pot.  If you use frozen chicken breasts, the chicken may be held in the temperature danger zone for too long which could lead to illness. However, have I used frozen and lived to tell about it, yep! 
  2. I used 4 chicken breasts per jar of salsa.  You can easily adjust based on desired quantity.  Feel free to use chicken tenders as well.
