To make this crockpot chicken and salsa recipe, all you need are 3 boneless chicken breasts, your favorite salsa, and a few basic seasonings. The chicken is cooked in the slow cooker with the salsa and seasonings until it is tender and juicy.

The salsa adds a burst of flavor and spice to the dish, making it a crowd-pleaser for both adults and kids. This recipe can be served on its own, over rice, or with a side salad for a complete meal.

On average it takes 3-4 hours on high or you can do 1 ½ hours on high and then turn the cooker to low and cook for 3 additional hours.

Yes, you can put raw chicken in a slow cooker! Slow cookers and Crock-Pots are designed to cook raw meats. The direct heat from the pot, lengthy cooking time and steam created from the tightly covered container destroys bacteria, making slow cooking safe. You can put frozen chicken in a slow cooker, too!

No flipping or turning is not necessary, you need to do nothing more than simply throwing everything inside – the slow cooker does all the work for you.

• For an extra boost of flavor, marinate the chicken overnight before slow-cooking it.
• Avoid using frozen chicken, as it can lead to uneven cooking and potential food safety risks.
• Trim any excess fat from the chicken before cooking to prevent a greasy texture.
• For added flavor, you can also add herbs, spices, and vegetables to the slow cooker.
• Don't lift the lid during the cooking process, as this can lower the temperature and increase the cooking time.
• Always store leftover chicken in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. You can also store some leftover portions in zip loc freezer bags for some homemade WW freezer meals.
