Soo now you know why I posted my salsa recipe FIRST! Yes, you’re welcome.
When it comes to meal planning for the week, THIS is my absolute favorite thing to make! Salsa is extremely low in calories and is a great way to get those veggies in your diet without even trying. It also just so happens to perfectly coat your chicken in the crock pot making it moist and flavorful while giving you TONS to enjoy all week!
Personally I like to eat my chicken over a salad because the salsa acts as a great dressing, but you could eat this mixed with brown rice, on a whole wheat bun as a sandwich or even on its own with some veggies. Any salsa will work too, just use your favorite! THIS recipe just happens to be mine and the one I always use when making shredded chicken. I love making my own at home because there is nothing more tasty then fresh salsa, but if you are looking for something quick, store-bought works just fine.
Ingredients
- 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups favorite salsa
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in your crock post and cover completely with salsa. Set crock pot on the low setting and cook for 4 1/2 hours.
- Place chicken in a bowl and strain out just the salsa, not the juice. Shred chicken using two forks and mix in strained salsa. Enjoy!
