    NEED TO TRY THIS!:bigsmile:
  • I used this recipe before I started my weight loss, I omit the soup and use a bit of cornstarch to thicken up the sauce, then I shred the chicken and put it on sub buns, then added the sour cream. My hubby loved it!!

    i make my slow cooker salsa chicken like this:

    4 boneless chicken breasts
    1 cup salsa
    1 can yellow corn (you can strain the juice out)
    1 can beans (chili beans or black beans) with all the juice
    taco seasoning

    dump it all in. i do it for 8 hours on low and shred the chicken before serving.

    I made this tonight.....YUMMY! To lower the salt content, I have a spice recipe that you can use that tastes JUST LIKE the taco seasoning one. I used taco seasoning this time b/c I was in a rush, but here is the spice recipe with no salt.....

    1 TBSP Chili Powder
    1 TBSP Cumin Powder
    1 TBSP Garlic Powder

    I am going to make a big batch of this to have on hand, then it is handy to use!

    I also used lo-fat cream of chicken soup instead because of no mushroom soup at home....it was great!

    I used the exact recipe listed at the very beginning of this topic except that I used low fat cream of chicken soup instead. I wanted to figure out what it was worth for only 4 servings since there are only 4 chicken breasts.....It worked out to 371 calories.

    bump cause I need to make this for my family soon
  • I made these tonight, and they were awesome!

    I didn't have any taco seasoning, so I seasoned mine by sprinkling a bit of onion salt, garlic powder, ground cumin, paprika, & chili powder and followed the rest of the recipe Mmm mmm good. We had ours over brown rice.

    I made this on thursday and doubled the recipe - but I didn't even add sourcream and it definitely does not need it!! This was delicious and we ate it on tortillas with some tomato, lettuce and sour cream. My husband had 6 tacos and had them for lunch the next day and for dinner again!! He loved it! I will definitely be making this again!

    I made this for Mother's Day. DH tasted it before I put the sour cream in and then after I put the sour cream in. Said to him, it was better without.

    Served it with homemade mexican rice and it was a hit.
