Do you love crock pot meals? This one is AMAZING and bursting with flavor! Slow cooker salsa chicken is great for busy weekdays or lazy weekends. Make ahead or prep in the freezer. The versatility is endless! Pairs nicely with Spanish rice and cornbread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked garbanzo beans (equivalent to 1-15oz can, how to cook dry beans)
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked black beans (equivalent to 1-15oz can, how to cook dry beans)
  • 1 1/2 cups corn kernels
  • 1 cup homemade salsa (or just throw all of those ingredients in the slow-cooker)
  • 1/2 cup salsa verde
  • 1 lb. uncooked chicken (any pieces)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a large slow cooker* and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
  2. Serve over rice, homemade cornbread, or with homemade tortillas.

Notes

  •  I have this 6-quart slow cooker and this recipe fits with room to spare. I don’t recommend using a slow cooker any smaller than 4 quarts.
  • Make sure the salsa chicken is in an airtight container and it will last in the fridge for 3-4 days and in the freezer, it will last for 3-4 months.
