Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts Thighs can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 jar salsa Use your favorite type (mild, medium, spicy).
  • 1 packet taco seasoning Or about 2 to 3 tablespoons of homemade mix.

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Put the chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the chicken.
  3. Pour salsa on top. No extra liquid needed.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for about 6 to 7 hours or HIGH for about 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is easy to pull apart.
  5. Shred the chicken right in the slow cooker with two forks, stirring it to soak up all the salsa juices.
  6. Let it sit for 10 minutes on warm if possible to thicken slightly.

Notes

This recipe is very forgiving. Adjust the salsa type for different flavors. Shred the chicken while hot for best results. Letting it sit after cooking enhances flavor.
