I modified my recipe slightly, but the original recipe calls for:
- 24 oz jar salsa
- juice from 1 lime
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1.25 oz package of taco seasoning
- 2 jalapeno peppers chopped (optional)
- 6 chicken breasts
I only had an 18 oz jar of salsa, so I mixed that with a can of crushed tomatoes and added an extra half packet (that I already had opened) of taco seasoning. Stir this together with the lime juice, cilantro and jalapenos. I omitted the cilantro, since my husband doesn't like it. I also did not add the jalapeno so the kids would be able to eat it as well.
Once mixed, I layered the salsa mixture and the chicken into the slow cooker.
I covered and cooked the chicken on low for about 5 1/2 hours. The last hour I uncovered and turned on high. The salsa mixture was a little watery so I wanted some of the liquid to cook out. It turned out great. The chicken was so tender it literally fell apart as I was removing it from the slow cooker.
As a side dish, I prepared some rice with taco seasoning. I chopped and sauteed some green, yellow and red bell peppers to add in.
I served mine with some sliced avocado and sour cream. It was delicious!
Enjoy!
