Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Chicken with Salsa.
Step 1
Begin by placing the chicken breasts at the base of your slow cooker, creating a solid foundation for flavor.
Step 2
Generously sprinkle chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, and onion powder over the chicken, allowing the spices to envelop each piece.
Step 3
Next, pour salsa and chopped green chile peppers over the seasoned chicken, ensuring every inch is covered in this zesty mixture.
Step 4
Secure the lid on your slow cooker and set it to the Low setting, letting it work its magic for 6 to 8 hours, or until the chicken becomes irresistibly tender and reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 5
When the time is up, use two forks to shred the chicken right in the slow cooker, mixing it thoroughly with the salsa for a deliciously cohesive dish.
Step 6
Enjoy the rich flavors that have melded together, perfect for tacos, burritos, or simply on its own.
