Easy and Flavorful Meal Prep with Minimal Effort

Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken is a simple yet flavorful recipe that requires just three ingredients, making it a perfect option for a delicious and comforting dinner. The dish is budget-friendly, as it doesn’t require expensive jarred salsa; a generic brand works just as well. While boneless, skinless chicken thighs are typically recommended for this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts can also be used. For the best results with chicken breasts, it’s advised to slice them in half before cooking, ensuring a tender and flavorful outcome.

This versatile salsa chicken can be served in larger pieces over Mexican-style rice or shredded to create mouthwatering chicken tacos. For those following a low-carb diet, it pairs wonderfully with cauliflower rice and a fresh green salad. To ensure a gluten-free meal, choose a gluten-free seasoning mix, as some popular options, like Taco Bell seasoning, are not gluten-free. This recipe is not only easy to prepare but also allows for customization based on dietary preferences.

hey everyone Marcel here y’all welcome back to my kitchen today I have a fantastic slow cooker supper recipe for you guys if you’re not familiar with this three ingredient salsa chicken believe me you’re going to want to give this recipe a try because it is stinking delicious um this is another one of.

Those recipes that I put off trying for a long time time it just didn’t speak to me um even though it’s been on Pinterest and on the web and on YouTube for a while uh I finally broke down and gave it a try and it’s it’s really really good you guys um but like I said three ingredients easy peasy I’m going to go ahead and show you what I’m using to.

Make this today cuz as usual I’m running behind schedule and I got to get this uh dinner in the crock poot back there so let’s get started oh all righty y’all so here is what I’m using today for this amazing slow cooker salsa chicken so I using slightly over 2 and a half pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs for.

This and as I always do when I use chicken thighs I’m going to trim them up any excessive fat on the meat it just keeps anything I’m making with chicken thighs it keeps it from getting like too too greasy um you could also use chicken breast if you prefer it this is just what I have on hand today and then we’re going to need a 16 oz jar.

16 oz yeah 16 oz jar of some salsa um I’m using a medium heat today this is hb’s kind of answer to paste Picante and it’s really good if you’re in Texas I love to use Mark’s good stuff salsa with this they sell it at HB but I have this in my pantry today so we’re using it it’s also really tasty I don’t recommend using higher than a medium heat salsa.

With this guys especially if you’re going to be you know feeding kids with this because the chicken does braze in this salsa for hours and it will pick up a little bit of the Heat and the spices and everything and you know you don’t want like fi alarm fire Hot Chicken on your kids plate um all right so Original Taco Bell.

Seasoning I have this packet on hand I’m just going to go ahead and use it up today I do make homemade tacos seasoning that I do keep in my my spice coverboard all the time I’ll link that recipe down below you can certainly use homemade seasoning if you prefer it I just I always have a few packets of this in my pantry because we like to make some Taco.

Bell copycat recipes and when we do I tend to use these packets for those recipes but going to use that today all right so chicken salsa taco seasoning and um I’ll meet you at the slow cooker right after I get this chicken cleaned up okay guys so what I like to do is I do things a little bit weird normally I.

Would actually take the chicken and like season it over on a cutting board and then move it over here but today like I said I’m kind of I got to rush out of here so just to make sure the seasoning gets evenly distributed through I sprayed my I’m actually using my instant pot today so I sprayed the bottom with some olive oil and I’m putting some taco.

Seasoning just on the bottom and now I’m going to layer oh not try not to drop the chicken going to layer the chicken these tongs are nonstick and they are not sticking to the chicken all right all the way around going to get a layer of chicken thighs going.

Here and then I’m going to season them again this and this whole packet of seasoning will make its way into the slow cooker all right so we’re going to repeat that layer of chicken and seasoning all right.

Perfect so now we’re just going to take the rest of it and go in here just let it go right over the top but I like this to know that the chicken had some seasoning on all the sides all right now hang on a second getting my jar of salsa all right and it was easy to open.

So yay um all right now you’re just going to pour this right over the top guys I mean right over the top and you’re done we’re done okay so now I’m just going to use the slow cook mode in my instant pot and it’s already normally this defaults to 6 hours so oddly enough it it popped up at 4: but that’s where we want it going to.

Let this cook for 4 hours and I’ll come back and uh check in with you after a little while guys okay guys so welcome back we have 1 hour of cook time left on this delicious salsa chicken and of course house smells amazing right now and we’re all really hungry and very anxious for this to be done um all right so as promised we’re.

Going to have a little lookie in here at the chicken and then we’re going to talk about how I plan to serve this and all that good stuff so all right let’s let’s have a little look I’m just going to turn you down here for a second okay all right just in case there’s any condensation over here all right so here.

It is like I said it still has an hour to go a lot of that um thicker portion of the salsa is still resting on top but then you can see where the juices from the chicken and the salsa have kind of comingled down there it smells really good I can really smell the taco seasoning it smells spicy okay um but I’m going to close this back up so it.

Can continue to do its thing and um when it’s done here shortly I’m going to shred it and tonight we’re going to eat this over some rice I’m going to make some quick Skillet Mexican rice and um a lot of times though I like to make this and this makes excellent crunchy chicken tacos it’s honestly my favorite way to eat this chicken is in.

Like a loaded crunchy chicken taco so so good you guys but it’s also really good over rice and I’m going to make a quick Skillet Mexican rice to go with with it and yes I will be sharing the skillet Mexican rice this winter so stay tuned for that but anyhow guys simple delicious inexpensive don’t make the mistake I did and wait so long to try.
