If you don’t own a slow cooker, get one! Nothing makes life easier than putting a few ingredients into a slow cooker and walking away for hours just to come home to a fully cooked meal!
Ingredients
Directions
Place the chicken in your slow cooker and pour the salsa over the top. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the chicken shreds easily simply by stirring it.
NOTE: Do not lift the lid of your slow cooker until the end of the cooking time. Lifting the lid during cooking will lengthen the amount of time needed to cook as well as make it possible for bacteria to build on your food because the internal temperature of the slow cooker is not maintained.
Nutritional Content
NOTE: Sodium will vary based on salsa used.

Tried this today. Was a bit skeptical (my husband was very skeptical), but it came out really good. I was shocked at how quick and easy this was. You can’t get more “uncomplicated” than this meal. And it was good! Thanks for the great recipe! Will become a regular at our house. Healthy, easy, good, easy clean-up….can’t get better than that!
Awesome!!! I’m so glad you both enjoyed it!
I also do this with Herdez salsa verde on chicken or pork roast. Family loves it!
I bet!
frozen or thawed chicken on low for 4-6 hours?
Always thawed. It’s a bad idea to put frozen food in a slow cooker for food safety reasons.
This was great! My husband has already requested it for dinner next week. Thanks!
Awesome!
Can you used bone in chicken pieces?
Sure. I’m not sure though if the cooking times will vary. I never use bone-in pieces, so you’d have to play that by ear. The meat should just fall off the bone when it’s done.
This sounds great. Is there a recipe for the shells?
I just used organic corn tortillas.
