21 Day Fix Approved : Salsa Chicken


This is a staple in our household.   I usually make a big crockpot full of Salsa Chicken and freeze it in bags to use later.  This is so easy!  I typically make a double batch to have even more to freeze.  If I'm making the mess, why not make more? 


Ingredients:
1.5lb frozen chicken breasts
1 pkt taco seasoning
1 jar clean salsa


How to make Salsa Chicken:
  1. Place frozen chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. Sprinkle taco seasoning all over the chicken breasts.
  3. Pour a jar of salsa over the taco seasoning and chicken breasts.
  4. Cover and cook for 6-8hrs on low.*
  5. After chicken is cooked thoroughly, with two forks.
  6. Put back into the crockpot with the lid off.  Let it cool for an hour or so, stirring occasionally.
  7. Put in freezer bags and freezer flat to make storage easier!
*We typically cook on low for 10hrs while we are at work and it always turns out okay!

After Salsa Chicken is shredded.

This is how I bag my chicken.  Place freezer
bag in a cup and spoon in. 

8 bags from my double batch means
8+ meals for the next couple of months!

Some of our favorite Salsa Chicken recipes are:
Quesadillas
Chicken tacos
Nachos
Chicken Taco Salad
