It’s embarrassing how easy it is to make this chicken. Basically all you do is put your chicken in the crockpot, pour a jar of salsa over it and cook it on high for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Crockpot Salsa Chicken Recipe
Crockpot Salsa Chicken with cheese – only 3 ingredients, it’s embarrassingly easy to make and so delicious.



INGREDIENTS

• 3 lbs chicken breasts boneless, skinless (about 6)
• 2 cups salsa mild
• 1 cup Mexican Blend cheese shredded

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place whole chicken breasts in your crockpot and pour the salsa over it. Cook anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 hours on high, you don't want to cook it longer because it will start falling apart.
2. Preheat oven to 425 F degrees.
3. Take a 8x8 baking dish or 9x13, depends how big your chicken breasts are, mine were fairly small, you can spray it with cooking spray if you want, but I didn't, and carefully place the chicken in the dish. Spoon some of the leftover salsa (from the crockpot) over the chicken and sprinkle evenly with the cheese.
4. Bake for 15 minutes or until it's nice and golden brown, and you'll see the sauce and cheese bubbling.

NOTES
It’s not really recommended to cook frozen chicken in the slow cooker as there’s risk of bacteria contaminating the meat before it reaches a safe temperature. I would thaw it out in the microwave first for a few minutes before actually adding it to the slow cooker.
