Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 1.5 - 2 pounds
2 cups salsa mild, medium, or spicy – your choice!
1 packet taco seasoning mix about 1 ounce

Instructions

Gently place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker.
Pour your delicious salsa evenly over the chicken, then sprinkle the entire packet of taco seasoning on top. Give it a gentle stir to make sure the chicken gets coated in all that zesty goodness.
Cover your slow cooker and let it work its magic! Cook on the LOW setting for 6 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is incredibly tender.
Once cooked, use two forks to easily shred the chicken right in the pot. It'll be so tender, it practically falls apart! Stir the shredded chicken into the flavorful salsa liquid to soak up every last drop of taste.
Enjoy this versatile salsa chicken over a bed of fluffy rice, nestled in warm tortillas for tacos, rolled into healthy burritos, or simply as a lean protein boost on your favorite summer salad.

Notes

Cook Time can vary based on your slow cooker setting (3-8 hours total).
