This isn't the first time I've posted a crockpot recipe for salsa chicken. A long time ago, when I first started blogging, I blogged this version (be sure to check out my HORRIBLE picture of it too... ::gags::) However as my cooking has evolved and subsequently my tastes, that version just isn't my cup of tea anymore. I feel everyone needs a good go-to crockpot salsa chicken recipe though, so I decided to give it another go with a different recipe. This one was much, much, much better. It's healthier and more natural. Not to mention the flavors are more "real" and less processed. Best of all it makes a ton. We used it for chicken tacos and then I froze enough for two meals worth once the baby gets here.
Just a tip, here are some uses for the shredded salsa chicken: chicken tacos, served over rice and topped with taco fillings, used for quesadillas, mixed with pasta/veggies/black beans and baked with some additional salsa and cheddar cheese, used to make a Mexican pizza... the options are limitless which is really why everyone needs a good version at their fingertips!

ReplyDeleteDelicious!! Now I make 2 or 3 batches of this at a time for future Mexican meals :)
ReplyDeleteIs it 4 split breasts or the breasts of 4 chickens. (sorry for the silly wording, my butcher and I are having an argument over this recipe)
ReplyDelete4 split breasts... I'd guess about 1.5-2 pounds of chicken.
DeleteI win the argument! Thanks :-P
