Susan's Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken Preparation

Place frozen chicken in a medium to large crock pot.

Pour the salsa over the chicken.

Put the lid on the crock pot and set the crock pot to low for 4-5 hours based on your crock pot.

You want the chicken to be cooked through and very tender so at the end of cooking time it easily pulls apart with 2 forks.

I do this right in the crock pot when I use chicken tenders, Breasts can be taken out and shredded on a plate and then returned to the crock pot. (Shredding the chicken ensures the great flavor in every bite!)

Last- I then melt the cream cheese into the chicken and salsa mixture.

Serve over rice with a side of fresh Red pepper slices.

Notes

We have found that even though we love a variety of salsa brands Tostitos works by far the best for this recipe!

I am a wimp when it come to medium and hot salsa. My family is not but they still LOVE this dish! You of corse can try mild or hot Tostitos salsa.

I make this meal for friends when they have a baby, or after surgery etc, since it is a sure thing their families all love and 1/2 can feed my family and the other 1/2 theirs! Or we love the left overs!

This is my original recipe =D

Enjoy!

	Rubicon717 This was absolutely delicious and super easy. I added kidney beans and a small can of corn. Instead of cream cheese, I added sour cream to taste. So good! 3 months, 1 weeks, 3 days, 5 hours, 8 minutes ago
	MamaHyde75 I read the other reviews and added the black beans and corn. We loved it and it was so easy! Thanks 3 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 2 hours, 45 minutes ago
	K8tbug Great recipe. I skip the cream cheese and add 1-2 cans black beans and a bag of frozen white corn. Yummy with warm tortillas or with melted cheese in a quesadilla! 3 months, 3 weeks, 6 days, 4 hours, 2 minutes ago
	heathertredreesoutar Simple and yummy. My kids loved it too!! 4 months, 6 days, 3 hours, 17 minutes ago
	Nmagnuson I was worried that using fat free cream cheese would make it bland but the salsa had so much flavor that it was PERFECTLY balanced! I only made a pound of chicken with a 16oz. jar of salsa and 6oz. of fat free cream cheese since there is no way I could consume 4 pound of chicken! Two servings of it are currently in my freezer... I will be interested to see how it tastes after being defrosted! Great flavor + inexpensive due to few ingredients + healthy = THANK YOU for this TERRIFIC recipe! 4 months, 2 weeks, 1 days, 2 hours, 14 minutes ago

	mrsfapd My family loved it! So easy to make, definitely a keeper! 7 months, 2 weeks, 5 days, 4 hours, 55 minutes ago
	LaineyK1 thought this dish tasted like a sandwich filler. It was too rich for us. 7 months, 2 weeks, 5 days, 10 hours, 5 minutes ago
	Kymom46 Fantastic! All four family members loved it (and this is rare!). I used two lbs chicken breasts and added a can of black beans and some frozen corn. 7 months, 2 weeks, 6 days, 2 hours, 36 minutes ago
	kristiriley I added black beans, corn, taco seasoning which it doesn't really need. I only had a lb and a half of chicken which didn't seem like alot so I add two cans of chicken breasts which wasn't necessary when I shredded the chicken. It turned out like chili almost. We dipped tortilla chips in it. 7 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 6 hours, 43 minutes ago
