The only way this recipe could be easier, friends, is if it was fixable in a steamer bag (no, I'm not trying that).
Here's what you need:
- Boneless/skinless chicken breasts (I get about 2lbs to feed my family of two big people and three little people)
- 1 pkg. taco seasoning (that stuff that comes in a packet and is about .60). I got the nacho cheese taco seasoning variety and highly recommend it.
- 1 jar of your favorite salsa (I chose medium chunky salsa)
- 1 bag of shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican cheese is good)
Here's what you do: (ready?)
- Lay the raw chicken in the crockpot
- Cover front and back of each chicken breast with taco seasoning
- Cover chicken with entire jar of salsa
- Fill salsa jar about 1/4 full of water (to get excess salsa out and to add a little liquid) and pour around the chicken - not on directly on top if you can help it.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 4hrs. (make sure your chicken looks done; I'm not responsible if your crock takes longer than four hours and you a.) get food poisoning or b.) have ravenous children clawing at your legs).
- About 30min before your timer goes off, take the lid off your crock and cover chicken w/shredded cheese (I think I used half a bag). Start your rice.
- Once your timer goes off, slice and serve. You can use the excess salsa juice on top of your rice - it makes a great Mexican-style rice.
Enjoy!! (and enjoy not thinking about making dinner all afternoon). :)
