For a lighter meal or healthy lunch, serve the chicken in lettuce wraps or over a nice, big salad.

In just seconds, you&rsquo;ll have it all shredded and ready to go.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let the shredded chicken rest in the salsa for 5-10 minutes before serving so it can soak up even more flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To make cleanup easier and avoid sticky messes in your crockpot, try using a slow cooker liner. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3-ingredient-salsa-chicken-in-the-crockpot.jpg\" alt=\"Wooden spoon scooping shredded salsa chicken from slow cooker.\" class=\"wp-image-68537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3-ingredient-salsa-chicken-in-the-crockpot.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3-ingredient-salsa-chicken-in-the-crockpot-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3-ingredient-salsa-chicken-in-the-crockpot-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3-ingredient-salsa-chicken-in-the-crockpot-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3-ingredient-salsa-chicken-in-the-crockpot-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3-ingredient-salsa-chicken-in-the-crockpot-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3-ingredient-salsa-chicken-in-the-crockpot.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additions and Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Add black beans and corn.<\/strong> Make this slow-cooker salsa chicken recipe heartier by adding a can of black beans and\/or sweet corn about an hour before the chicken is done.

A squeeze of lime juice over the top right before serving adds brightness to this delicious dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lower the sodium.<\/strong> If you&rsquo;re watching your salt, use reduced sodium taco seasoning instead of regular. You can also make your own taco seasoning blend without salt using spices like chili powder, cumin, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Make it spicy.<\/strong> If you like heat, spice this dish up by using hot salsa or adding diced jalapenos along with the chicken in the slow cooker. You can also use spicy taco seasoning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easy Salsa Chicken Recipe FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1685417287816\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use boneless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts for this slow cooker salsa chicken recipe?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can. They&rsquo;ll be delicious. Remember to trim any fat off the chicken thighs before putting them in the slow cooker. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1685420389974\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use frozen chicken?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No, you should always thaw chicken before slow cooking it, per food safety guidelines from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fsis.usda.gov\/food-safety\/safe-food-handling-and-preparation\/food-safety-basics\/slow-cookers-and-food-safety\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">USDA<\/a>. Frozen chicken may stay in the danger zone for too long before it reaches a safe temperature, increasing the risk of food-borne illness.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1685420557186\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is it better to cook chicken on high or low in the slow cooker?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I recommend cooking chicken on low in the slow cooker whenever possible. The low setting allows the chicken to cook slowly, resulting in tender, more juicy meat. The high setting can sometimes cook the chicken too quickly, making it tough or dry. That said, if you&rsquo;re in a pinch and need to cook the chicken faster, the high setting can come in handy. Just make sure to check it regularly to prevent overcooking.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1685420629690\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you keep chicken from drying out in the slow cooker?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Overcooking is usually the reason for dry chicken, so cooking it on low is the best option, particularly if you&rsquo;re working with a new slow cooker and you&rsquo;re not familiar if it runs on the hotter or cooler side. Your chicken will also come out dry if you use a slow cooker that&rsquo;s too large. For this recipe, a 5-6 quart slow cooker works just fine. Finally, adding liquid helps keep the chicken moist, though the chicken will also release some of its own juices while cooking. For this recipe, the salsa provides the needed moisture.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1685829534610\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use homemade salsa instead of jarred salsa?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Of course! It&rsquo;ll give the chicken a delicious fresh flavor. You&rsquo;ll need 2 cups of homemade salsa for the recipe.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"This Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken recipe has only 3 ingredients and just needs 5 minutes of prep.

Your chicken will also come out dry if you use a slow cooker that's too large. For this recipe, a 5-6 quart slow cooker works just fine. Finally, adding liquid helps keep the chicken moist, though the chicken will also release some of its own juices while cooking. For this recipe, the salsa provides the needed moisture.","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/slow-cooker-salsa-chicken\/#faq-question-1685829534610","position":5,"url":"https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/slow-cooker-salsa-chicken\/#faq-question-1685829534610","name":"Can I use homemade salsa instead of jarred salsa?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Of course!
