This crockpot salsa chicken could NOT be easier. It’s a staple we have been making for years!
Calling this a recipe is way too generous, but here we are. Truly the simplest recipe to make that is SO versatile. You throw everything in the crockpot and let it cook. That’s it! Then you have this delicious, flavorful chicken that works for so many dishes.
Make burrito bowls, tacos, taco salad, quesadillas, enchiladas, protein packed scrambled eggs, and so much more. We love it!

TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED
Crockpot – I recently got this super basic crockpot and so far I love it. Super affordable and easy to use!
Meat thermometer – I will never cook meat without using one! We have a expensive one because my husband cooks meat all the time, but this one is affordable and looks great. I like that it has printed on their the safe temperatures for meat so you never need to look it up!
