      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.
