    I use to bake my chicken like this with just salsa on top, not all of the other ingredients but I never even thought of doing it in the crock pot. That sounds delicious & my kids would probably love it too!

    So I made a similiar.... and simplier version that was GREAT

    4 - frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
    1 - Package Taco Seasoning
    1- JAr of salsa

    Put the chicken in the crockpot, pour the taco seasoning over the chicken then pour the salsa over.

    Cook on low 6-8 hours ( I left mine in a lil over 7 )

    Pull chicken apart with 2 forks....

    I searved in Taco Shells with lettuce and hot sauce

    EE GADZ, do not, repeat, do not use Mango Peach salsa. Was.Not.Good. I will do this again, for sure, but next time I think will use green chili.
