| Crockpot Salsa Chicken |
We loved this recipe...even though we overloaded it with salsa.
A couple years ago we invested in our very first crock pot (slow cooker). Then we found a fabulous crock pot recipe blog and tried a few of the recipes. We loved this one - simple and tasty. After I saw the recipe for 'Fire Roasted Salsa' we just made, I wanted to make the crock pot salsa chicken again...but had to nix the corn, store bought salsa and black beans.
Not feeling very creative, we decided to just use salsa and chicken but overcompensated on the salsa. We should've stuck to the one cup of salsa. We had way too much leftover salsa in the pot. It was very tasty though.
If you come up with additions to this recipe, please share them in our comments section. We'd love to try variations!
RECIPE:
Serves 3-4 people
Prep Time: approx 15 minutes (not including making the salsa)
Cook Time: 6-7 hours on low
6-7 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (we used antibiotic free chicken - 'Open Nature')
2 c. fire roasted salsa (adjust to 1 c.)
1/4 c. cilantro, chopped and reserve for garnish
Rinse and pat dry chicken. Remove excess fat. We left some fat on so the chicken wouldn't dry out. Cover evenly with salsa. Cover pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours. We cooked ours for 6 hours and it was perfect. Garnish with cilantro before serving.
The male half had his with avocado, I had mine plain. We also had asparagus with this.
Enjoy...we sure did!
