Crockpot Salsa Chicken





I've decided to start thinking of my crockpot as my personal chef.  I mean really, I give it a few ingredients and walk away only to return later that day to find dinner all ready to serve. Sounds like a chef to me.

Today, it only took 5 ingredients to get a fantastic dinner. Boneless chicken breasts, a can of cream of chicken soup, a jar of salsa, a packet of taco seasoning and a cup of sour cream.  The result was a creamy, spicy treat that when piled high on a bun with a side of seasoned fries made for a wonderful casual dinner. It doesn't have to be just for sandwiches though. It would be equally delicious atop some rice, a great filler for chicken tacos or layered across some tortillas for some mind blowing spicy chicken nachos.

Stir together one can of cream of chicken soup, 1 jar of salsa (I used Pace Medium) and 1 packet of taco seasoning in the bottom of your crockpot.



Next place 3 or 4 boneless chicken breasts into the mixture making sure to spoon some of the mixture over the top of your chicken breasts to cover them  nicely.  Set it on low, put the lid on it, slide it to the back of the counter and let it cook for about 4 1/2 hours.




Remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot to a cutting board. Using two forks shred the chicken. Mine literally just fell apart and only took about 2 minutes to shred up.  Return your shredded chicken to the crockpot, add in 1 cup of sour cream, stir it up until it's thoroughly mixed and cook for another 30 minutes.

The hardest part about this dish is deciding how you want to serve it. Our sandwiches were amazing but we'd like to hear what you choose to do with it!!

Ingredients:

1.5lbs boneless chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 jar salsa
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 cup sour cream

Mix soup, salsa and taco seasoning in crockpot, add in chicken breasts covering them with  mixture. Cook 4.5 hours. Remove chicken breasts to cutting board and shred them. Return to crockpot along with 1 cup of sour cream. Stir thoroughly and cook for 30 more minutes.
