Notes for making Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken:

Use a fresh style salsa from the produce or deli department rather than jarred salsa off the shelf
Use a smaller slow cooker (I used my mini casserole slow cooker) so that the chicken and salsa won’t burn from having too much air flow in the slow cooker
You should cook the chicken until it shreds easily, if it doesn’t, it needs more time
You can cook it on high or low depending on the amount of time you have

Ways to eat Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken:

in your favorite taco shells topped with lettuce, cheese and sour cream
on top of rice for a delicious burrito bowl
in flour tortillas topped with melted cheese for a smothered burrito
on salad for a cool, crispy, healthy dinner

And for a different twist on salsa chicken, try this verde version instead!
