Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken
As you may (or may not) know, I’m on Weight Watchers. I’ve lost about 20 pounds since April. I’m learning that weight loss is a journey and I need to take it one day at a time. I love attending meetings for the accountability. Nonetheless, I couldn’t have found a better meeting leader – Don. He has such a positive attitude, he’s a great encourager and shares recipes with us. They’re usually on an easel pad or flip chart, so I snap a picture with my phone and hope remember to give it a try.
Last month he shared this slow cooker salsa chicken recipe. I never heard of it and, yes, I know it’s probably been around for-ever; however, I recently tried it for the first time and loved it.
This blog allows me to share some of these delicious ‘finds’ with all of you — and if you haven’t tried this salsa chicken, you’re truly missing out!
A three ingredient recipe that you can throw in the slow cooker is a win-win for those of us who are on the go and need some easy meal options. I’m certain this will be a new family favorite — and can be used in so many different ways. From tacos to salads to serving over a bed of rice! Enjoy.

Hi Kelly, looks delicious…my kids would even eat it! 🙂 There is unfortunately a Lamps Plus ad directly over the recipe and it won’t budge no matter what I do. Not complaining as I completely understand you need to make a living too. Just thought you’d want to know. I’ll try to come back later to see if it’s migrated as I’d love to make this one.
Thanks, Erin
Hi again, I posted my comment and went back up and it was gone! 🙂 Nice and easy recipe, I bet we try it next week. Thanks for sharing as always!
Take care, Erin
Thanks Erin! I saw your other comment as well. I’ll take a look. Just returned from St. Marteen and have some catching up to do. 🙂 Appreciate the heads up. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this recipe. It was a hit with my husband and sister. Have a great day! HUGS.
Haven’t tried it yet but looks yummy!
Thanks Mom! You’ll love it. 🙂 …and dad will too. Love you! HUGS.
When I get a great price on chicken… I put diced tomatoes and chilis in my crockpot and then freeze it all for later to use in different recipes. Sooo… I never thought of adding taco seasoning in at the same time!
thanks for sharing it!
Thanks for stopping by Patricia! Crockpots are a wonderful thing…and freezing items to use in the future with different recipe’s is a great idea too! 🙂 Have a great day! xo.
I make something like this but haven’t tried adding the seasoning packet. This is a must try for sure!
Hi! What size jar of salsa do you use?
Thanks
15-16 oz
Can I put frozen chicken breast in crock pot ?Or oven to make salsa chicken?
Hi Kay. I don’t think it’s recommended to cook frozen chicken in a crockpot and I’m not aware of how to make salsa chicken in the oven. Sorry I can’t be of more help. Cheers!
I put frozen chicken breasts in the crock pot all the time. Some recipes even call for it. It’ll be fine 🙂
Made it today and it is delicious. I put the ingredients in the weight watchers recipe builder and it came up as 0 points. I used ff salsa and McCormick taco seasoning and made 8 servings.
Yes, on the Freestyle program, this would be 0 points. Glad you enjoyed it. Enjoy! xo
