Five Ingredient Friday: Crock Pot Salsa Chicken

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be complicated. Here is another quick and easy meal that will be on the dinner table in no time!

Crock Pot Salsa Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 jar of your favorite salsa

The recipe could technically end there, however, you can also add:

  • 1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1-2 cups frozen corn

Pour half the jar of salsa into the crock pot. Place chicken breasts into the crock pot and cover with remaining salsa. Set the crock pot on low for 4-6 hours if using frozen chicken breasts or 2-3 hours on low for fresh chicken breasts. Cooking time may vary depending on your crock pot. Make sure chicken is cooked through before serving. Add black beans and corn during last half hour of cooking time, just so they’re heated through.

Chicken may be served whole over brown rice or shredded and served in tortilla shells, over a salad or on a whole wheat bun. Leftovers freeze well! Serves 6.
