With just 2 ingredients this recipe for Crock-Pot Easy Salsa Chicken could not be any simpler to make. Use the cooked chicken in your favorite Mexican inspired recipes!

Crock-Pot Easy Salsa Chicken

Slow Cooker Easy Salsa Chicken

With only 2 ingredients this recipe for salsa chicken cooked in the slow cooker could not be any easier to make. Just add a couple boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs if you prefer dark meat) to your slow cooker (a 4 to 6 quart size works great here) and dump in 2 cups of your favorite brand of salsa.

I like to use Pace brand salsa myself but really, just use whatever brand you like. If you make your own homemade salsa you can use that too.

And then you let your chicken cook for a few hours until done.

Once the chicken is done, you can eat the chicken breasts whole as part of a meal. But I like to shred or dice the cooked chicken and use it in whatever Mexican inspired dishes I want to make for my family.

Uses for Crock-Pot Easy Salsa Chicken:

  • Burritos
  • Chimichangas
  • Quesadillas
  • Nachos
  • Taquitos
  • Enchiladas
  • Tamales
  • Burrito Bowls
  • Salads
  • Tostadas

I also like to double the recipe and use a larger slow cooker (6 quart or larger) so that I can freeze bags of the shredded chicken meat for easy meal prep on days where I don’t have a lot of time.

Just this Sunday I pulled a bag of frozen salsa chicken out, heated it up with a can of pinto beans and made chimichangas for dinner for the family. A huge hit with my teenage boys! They loved topping their chimichangas with sour cream, pico de gallo and guacamole. YUM đŸ™‚

    I make this with taco seasoning too. Leftovers can be made into tortilla soup by adding broth, beans and corn.
