Slow Cooker Creamy Salsa Chicken

This recipe for Crock-Pot Creamy Salsa Chicken is a reader recipe from Jennifer Estep inspired by a Sparks People recipe.  We are updating it to make sure the recipe works out well and to give you a picture of what it looks like.

Crock-Pot Creamy Salsa Chicken has a kick to with the salsa but it also very creamy with the sour cream and cream of mushroom soup.  I used a mild salsa, but you can use a hot salsa if that is your families preference.

My family enjoyed the flavor,  especially the taco seasoning, even though they were confused with how it could have a taco flavor but be so creamy.

It was definitely different type of meal for them, than they are used to but they were pleased, happy to have seconds and I can make this again and be confident they will eat it!

I served this chicken over cooked rice as a burrito bowl, but you could easily toss the chicken into flour tortillas and make yummy burritos.
