    Actually one of my favorites is extra lean turkey tenderloin and use green salsa with it. I then in a separate skillet take just a DROP of olive oil and sautee onions and peppers with garlic pepper. Shred the turkey and serve in whole wheat tortillas with the peppers and onions!

    I do the chicken breast and salsa in crock pot too, but I add a bag of frozen corn and a can of black beans (rinsed and drained). Cook on low 4-6 hrs. I usually throw my chicken in frozen. Shred chicken and it's good alone, over rice or as tacos. Would probably be good on a salad too.
