Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting your boneless, skinless chicken breasts into large pieces, roughly 1 to 2 inches in size. Arrange them snugly in the bottom of your crock pot, ensuring even coverage.
  2. Generously sprinkle taco seasoning over both sides of the chicken pieces. Make sure to coat the chicken evenly.
  3. Next, pour your choice of salsa over the seasoned chicken.
  4. Cover your crock pot with the lid and set it to HIGH heat. Cook for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred it using two forks, mixing it back into the salsa in the pot.
  6. Finally, serve your Crock Pot Salsa Chicken warm with a variety of toppings such as avocado, cheese, or sour cream.
