Method
- Start by plugging in your slow cooker and setting it to low. This will ensure the chicken cooks evenly and becomes tender.
- Add the salsa to the slow cooker. You can choose a mild or spicy variety, depending on your taste. The salsa not only adds flavor but also moisture to the dish.
- Next, place the chicken breasts directly into the salsa. Make sure they are covered well by the sauce. This will help them absorb all the fantastic flavors.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and let it cook on low for about six to nine hours. If you’re in a hurry, you could also cook it on high for three to four hours.
- About thirty minutes before you’re ready to eat, take two forks and shred the chicken right in the slow cooker. This allows it to soak up more of the salsa and enhances the flavor.
- Once shredded, stir the mixture well to combine everything. You’ll notice the chicken is incredibly tender, almost falling apart as you mix.
- Serve the Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken in your favorite Mexican dish. It’s excellent in burritos, tacos, or over rice. The options are endless!
- Enjoy with your favorite toppings like avocado, cheese, or cilantro, if desired. Each bite is a comforting taste of home!
