Can't wait to do this! Thanks for the inspiration.

My additions for a little more work:
Diced onion, diced green pepper, a ton of garlic, can of diced green Chiles.
I also didn’t see any spices. I make my own taco seasoning that is cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, cayenne and salt and pepper.

All those additions sound great; I'll definitely add a few in the future. I did add a comment above about some spices I added to this but forgot in my comment; your taco seasoning sounds like a great addition to anything.

It is and I love it and it’s easy to make! I based it off a BudgetBytes recipe. It has waaaay less salt than taco packets and you can control the amounts, which I like (I prefer more cumin than chili powder).
I’ll also mention that those cabbage mix bags at grocery stores go great with these. The ones that have a salad mix, some kinda sauce and sometimes small tortilla chips or whatever that you put all together and shake the bag up go great with these. I literally finished a batch today that was just a bowl of the chicken and that cabbage and an avocado, but I usually put it in tacos :)
I love this because it’s legitimately cheap, tasty AND healthy. It’s an amazing source of protein.

Good suggestions! Love the name too lol

Family favorite here! You can use fresh or frozen chicken breast and taco seasoning too. My kids will eat anything wrapped in a tortilla with cheese on it, even black beans!

This has me salivating. Dang.

I make something similar regularly. I like your salsa idea! (I usually used can tomatoes). When I get tired of eating it with rice or chips I'll have it with potatoes (baked, mashed, roasted, etc)

I thought a can of tomatoes might add something; I might do both them and salsa next time.

We get fire roasted diced tomatoes. They add a little more flavor. Sometimes canned chipotles, if we have them. It's a real versatile meal!

Both sound like great additions.

Can this be done w an instant pot as well?

I'm not sure, I don't have one; maybe someone else may know?

Can concern. Made it this evening in an instant pot.

Thank you for posting this, you inspired to me to make this next weekend! It looks like comfort food 🤤

I made this yesterday as well! Had it was fajitas last night.

How many servings can you get out of this?
2
I got about 6+ very good sized bowls.

Awesome!
2
I got very large breasts! Should I cut them in any way before putting them in??? Need immediate response!!
2
If you're going to shred them in the end it doesn't really matter of you cut them or not. I think not cutting would leave them more juicy, but also take more time. If you're in a rush and not going to cook for awhile I'd cut them into a few pieces first, otherwise I think you'll be fine leaving them. Good luck!

Thank you! I ended up just slicing them in half horizontally and removing the “chicken finger” piece (and put it on top too) .... I hope it comes out good !!! Looks amazing ❤️❤️❤️

Just made this with three large chicken breasts as meal prep for the week - had a taste and its good! I didn’t and any seasoning. Next time I might add some taco seasoning. Was enough for 6 individually packaged lunches with a ton still left over. I’m thinking at least 4 more servings!!!

can somoene tell me the best kind of beans to use for salsa chicken? black/white? when to add?

I combined a jar of salsa, a bag of frozen corn, and two cans of rinsed black beans in my 3.5qt crock pot and put 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top and cooked until chicken was pull-apart tender, about 5 hours on low. I added a couple of minced jalapenos and about a cup of sour cream to the mix and combined in bowls with brown rice, avocado, pico de gallo and a micro greens mix with some fresh lime juice squeezed on top.
Sounds and looks delicious.
Thank you, it was and it will definitely be put in rotation.
I've been looking for a way to do this without individual ingredient prep.
I've seen variants of this recipe on the site all the time, each with its own charm/style, majority of them delicious.
I'll try out this one for science and confirm.
Did you not season it at all?!
Thank you for the reminder! I did add the juice of a lime and a couple of shakes of cumin to the crockpot and put a little bit of all-purpose rub on the chicken; it was also a generous amount of jalapeno.
Nice! I was sure there must have been something besides salsa haha
This sounds damn good. Thanks.
What liquids did you add when you started the cook
No liquid other than the salsa.
I basically did this too yesterday with some diced onion and bell peppers. Them along with the salsa ends up being a fair amount of liquid. Then I took the liquid and used it to make rice.
You put the beans in early and not towards the end?
Yes, right at the beginning- they kept their shape.
Thank you!
