This is a great crockpot chicken recipe that can be made with fresh or frozen chicken breasts.  If you’re using frozen chicken breasts, it may take just a little extra time for this slow cooker salsa chicken recipe. 

It’s a very forgiving recipe because you can use whatever salsa you like best and fresh or frozen chicken breasts.  This is an easy crockpot meal, or slow cooker meal, however you say it, and it uses ingredients I normally have in the pantry.

This chicken recipe is also great for so many different types of dishes.  We have used this for tacos, quesadillas, burrito bowls, and for chicken enchiladas!

Tips for making the best salsa chicken:

• You can use fresh or frozen chicken breasts
• Use your favorite salsa.  I used Pace Salsa in this recipe.
• Shred the chicken in the creamy sauce.
• Salt to taste before serving.  I usually like to add a little sea salt.

2. Cook on high for about 4-6 hours depending on if your chicken is fresh or frozen.  When the chicken is done, it should be easily shred with 2 forks.

4. This chicken is great on tacos, burrito bowls, quesadillas, and in enchiladas!
