Crockpot Salsa Chicken
Crockpot Salsa Chicken
This recipe is ridiculously easy! Just throw three ingredients in the crockpot before you leave for work in the morning and it is ready to add the final touches for a great meal when you get home. It makes plenty of sauce so it’s great served over steamed rice. Simply add a salad or vegetable and you’ve got a great meal. For any weight watchers out there, this is 5 points per serving.
Ingredients
20 oz. uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 1/4 oz. pkg. reduced sodium taco seasoning
1 C. salsa
2 T. cornstarch
1/4 C. light sour cream
1. Place the chicken in the crockpot. (If it’s going to cook all day I put it in frozen)
2. Sprinkle the chicken with the taco seasoning and top with salsa.
3. Cook on low 6-8 hours.
4. Remove chicken from crockpot.
5. Dissolve cornstarch in 1/4 C. of water and stir into the salsa mixture. Stir in the sour cream and heat a few minutes until thickened. Serve over the chicken. Serves 4
Yum, yum. Had for dinner this evening and just loved it. John says I can make it again.
I’m so glad you and John liked it! Isn’t it easy?
You know I almost didn’t try this meal because of the texture of the picture. After the positive comment, I recognized this is like the texture of Beef Stroganoff and once again I liked all the ingredients. I modified it slightly to break up the texture and loved it. Thank you for the recipe and thank your friends for the positive review. I will get my recipe modification up in the next couple of days.
I’m glad you gave it a try and liked it. I should have posted a more artfully staged pic so it looked more appetizing. Oh, well!I look forward to seeing your modifications to the recipe, too!
[...] a great idea well executed and as I was surfing, I glossed over the Chicken salsa recipe because I didn’t like the texture of the sauce in the picture. It wasn’t until the positive feedback that I read the ingredients and knew I liked them all [...]
Sorry if I forgot to sign in when I made my comment about texture. Not sure if my picture is a whole lot better but the proof of a meal is in the eating and this is excellent. It is now posted Coffee Pot style on my site.
No worries. I did wonder who it was though so now the mystery is solved! I’ll check out your post to see how you did it.
