Chicken
Three-Ingredient Salsa Chicken
Three things. That is the whole recipe. It becomes tacos, bowls, nachos or a salad depending on what you are in the mood for.

Pot6 qt
What goes in
- 3 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 24 oz jarred salsa, medium or hot
- 1 packet taco seasoning, about 1 oz
Do not add water
Chicken releases a lot of liquid in a slow cooker. Adding water to a salsa recipe is the quickest way to end up with soup.
How to make it
- Put the chicken in the pot in one layer.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over it, then pour the whole jar of salsa across the top. Do not add water. The chicken and the salsa make plenty of liquid on their own.
- Low 6 hours or high 3 hours.
- Shred in the pot with two forks and stir it back through the sauce.
- Lid off 10 minutes if it looks loose.
Swap it
Salsa verde instead of red changes the whole dish. Add a block of cream cheese at the end for a creamier version.
