There was one posted here a few weeks ago that I made and it was fantastic!

Salsa Chicken? Taco Chicken? Call it what you want

1 lb of chicken
1 packet of low sodium taco seasoning
1 cup of salsa
1 can of healthy choice cream of mushroom soup

Put a few chicken breasts in the slow cooker and cover them with taco seasoning. Then layer on the salsa and cream of mushroom soup and cook for 8 hours (Mine went 10 hours because I was at work and it was still amazing). Serve with brown rice, low sodium black beans, or even in tacos. Delicious!

Also, I didn't have a whole cup of salsa so I added some crushed red tomatoes left over from the night before and chopped up some pickled jalapenos and threw them in there. Added some spice.

Enjoy!

I made something similar to what has been listed for my husband (I'm a vegetarian) and he LOVED it:

1 chicken breast
1 cup spicy salsa
sliced green peppers
sliced onions
1/4 - 1/2 cup fire roasted tomatoes

let it cook in the crockpot all day then served it with tortillas - kind of like chicken tacos. Recipe could easily be adapted to feed more people too!
