Crockpot Salsa Chicken

Chicken Casserole Dish
Prep Time1 hr
Cook Time2 hrs
Course: Main Course, Meat Dish
Cuisine: Mexican
Servings: 7

Equipment

  • Crockpot
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken breasts boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 1/4 cups salsa
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Mexican blend

Instructions

  • Place whole chicken breasts in your crockpot and pour the salsa over it.
  • Cook anywhere from 1½ to 2 hours on high, you don't want to cook it longer because it will start falling apart
  • Preheat oven to 425 F degrees.
  • Take a 8x8 baking dish or 9x13, depends how big your chicken breasts are, mine were fairly small, you can spray it with cooking spray if you want, but I didn’t.
  • Carefully place the chicken in the dish. Spoon some of the leftover salsa (from the crockpot) over the chicken and sprinkle evenly with the cheese.

  • Bake for 15 minutes or until it's nice and golden brown, and you'll see the sauce and cheese bubbling.

Notes

Serve with vegetable of choice or salad for a complete meal. I put mine over cauliflower rice with a side of broccoli.
