Ridiculously easy is really the only way to describe this chicken recipe. Open a few things, dump in slow cooker (aka CrockPot), let cook for 4-10 hours, and dinner is pretty much ready! Seriously, it doesn’t get much easier than that!
Hello!
I’m so happy you are here for this crazy easy and healthy slow cooker recipe!
Before I give you this recipe though, I wanted to offer you my newest eCookbook totally for FREE!

Now that you’ve requested your free eCookbook, let’s get onto the ridiculously easy salsa chicken recipe!
One really nice thing about this recipe, is that it has a very wide cooking time. If you put the slow cooker on high it can be done in as little as 4 hours, but I’ve left it on low for up to 10 hours with great results.
Perfect for throwing together before a long day, even if you don’t know exactly when you’ll be home for dinner. And, I’ve even used frozen chicken before. Like I said, ridiculously easy!
Once the chicken is cooked and shredded you can serve it in lots of different ways.
My family loves it in lettuce wraps, on corn or Whole Wheat Tortillas, over a bed of greens, or in quesadillas with cheese. I make plenty and serve it a different way two or three times and my family doesn’t even complain. I hope you enjoy this crazy easy recipe too!
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts*

I made this for dinner tonight, and it was easy and delicious. It turned out with lots of liquid, so next time I’ll drain the corn and see if that helps. Thanks for the great recipe! I’m excited to use the leftovers in a salad for lunch tomorrow.
I’m so glad you tried it and enjoyed it Karlee!! I think the amount of liquid also depends on the brand of salsa you use. I’ve used a few different ones and some seem to end up with more liquid than others. Draining the corn sounds like a great solution. 🙂
