- 3-4 chicken breasts
- 1 (16oz) jar of salsa
- (8oz) cream cheese (cubed)
- tortillas for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place the chicken, salsa and cream cheese in and cook on HIGH for 3 hours (or LOW for 4-5 hours), stirring the cream cheese once it melts.
- Shred with a fork and let the chicken absorb the salsa mixture for at least 15 more minutes.
- Serve in soft tortillas, taco shells or over a bed of lettuce. Top with shredded cheese, tomatoes, avocado or anything else you’d like!
Recipe Notes
- If you plan on cooking this on low and won’t be home to baby sit, it might be best to cook the chicken in just the salsa, and add the cream cheese during the end, giving it at least an hour to melt.
- This is the perfect base recipe for creamy chicken, but you could also spice it up a bit with a little taco seasoning, cayenne, chili powder or cumin. Customize it to your liking!
