My Mom makes some of the best homemade salsa I’ve ever tasted. I think a lot of that has to do with just about every ingredient that goes into her recipe comes from her garden. She of course changes this recipe every single time she makes it so It’s never the same.

I think she does this so she doesn’t have to give me the recipe. Luckily she does share the salsa. When I’m home for visits I swap out my empty mason jars for full jars of homegrown tomatoes and salsa. Lots and lots of salsa.

Besides eating my salsa with tortilla chips one of my favorite things to do is make crock-pot slow cooker salsa chicken. It takes just TWO simple ingredients. Excluding salt and pepper because those are freebies. Let’s not split hairs. You read correctly TWO ingredients. Chicken and Salsa. Hence the name salsa chicken.

We’re not trying to do quantum physics around here, just trying to put a delicious and nutritious meal on the table. This also happens to be one of the quickest crock-pot slow cooker meals you can make. It takes under 3 hours. If ever there was a reason to shout winner winner chicken dinner this would be it.

Well and because it’s just plain and simple fun to say.

The chicken is so tender it shreds in seconds using two forks. Seems two is the name of the game with this recipe. We like to make it into TACOS and nachos or just plain fork it into our mouths.

    Sounds like a cool app to use! I’m just now bringing out my slow cooker b/c it even got chilly down here. Great recipe to use next!!

      Hi Richard, yes mine cooked in 2 hours at 250 degrees. It will depend on the thickness of your chicken as well. Cook until tender and falls apart easily.
