Crockpot Salsa Chicken
This crockpot salsa chicken is seriously the EASIEST recipe ever. Just throw all the ingredients into a crockpot and the chicken is ready to shred in just three hours. To make things even easier, I shred the chicken using my stand mixer on low with the beater attachment (#lazy). I use this for the adobo seasoning and this for the sazon seasoning. Crockpot salsa chicken is great in burritos, tacos and enchiladas. I also really love it as a topper for nachos and on a taco salad! I do love a good taco salad (check out my beef taco salad recipe) and this goes great with Spanish rice, black olives and crunched up Doritos.
Crockpot Salsa Chicken
easy shredded salsa chicken
Equipment
- slow cooker
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 4 cups fresh salsa
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2-3 tbsp sazon seasoning with saffron
- 1 tbsp adobo seasoning
- 1/2 tbsp chicken bouillon powder
- 1 onion diced
- 1 jalapeno diced, optional
Instructions
- combine all ingredients in a crock pot and cook on high for 3 hours – I usually start with 2 tbsp of the sazon and then end up adding more later
- shred chicken and then return to crockpot
- let cook on low for 10-15 more minutes, then test for seasoning – at this stage I generally add a little more of the sazon because I love the flavor of it
- use slotted spoon to scoop out salsa chicken into bowl or pour crockpot into colander to drain
Notes
I use mild salsa for this recipe because I am not super into spices but feel free to add extra heat!
