Simple Recipe: Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken

This recipe is as easy as ordering take-out. You only have to do it 5 hours sooner! :)

4 boneless-skinless chicken breasts
1 16oz. jar of your favorite salsa
2 cups shredded cheese (optional)
rice (optional)

Add chicken breasts to the slowcooker. Pour salsa over the top. Cook on low for 5-8hrs, until tender, but not dry. Top with shredded cheese, upon serving. Serve on a bed of rice. (I say these are optional because I didn't use either and it still tasted great!)

When I made this, I served it with a side of Fiesta Sides:Mexican Rice. It was a REALLY good combo. The nice thing about this recipe is if you haven't thought about supper until lunchtime, you can still make it. I only had to cook mine for the 5hr timeframe.

I found this recipe in the book: Fix it And Forget it: 5 Ingredient Favorites. I've only got as far as making about 5 recipes from it but so far, I like it! The great thing is, with only 5 ingredients or less, each recipe is usually grocery-budget-friendly! But like with all recipe books, I recommend that you browse through them at the library or bookstore before buying to make sure it's your style.

Happy Cooking!
