2-Ingredient Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken is a chicken recipe on Avoteb. Plan on 1 minute from start to plate. The amounts and the method are both on this page.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs total)*
- 2 cups favorite salsa
- salt and pepper
- (optional: fresh lime wedges for serving)
Method
Set chicken breasts in a slow cooker and cover with salsa. Turn until the chicken is covered.
Lid and cook on high for 4 hours (or low for 6-8 hours), or until the chicken shreds easily with a fork. Shred the chicken in the slow cooker and toss with the remaining salsa and juices until well-mixed. Plate while it is hot, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. (This chicken also freezes well.)
*You can really use just about any cut of chicken for this recipe. For straightforward shredding though (so that you don’t have to mess with bones), It is worth boneless chicken breasts or thighs. This should be about 2 lbs of chicken total.
