This Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken only has 4 ingredients! So easy to make, just dump into your slow cooker and walk away. We love this creamy chicken for rice bowls, tacos, burritos and meal prepping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds chicken breasts (can also use chicken tenderloins or boneless, skinless chicken thighs)
- 3 tablespoons fajita seasoning
- 15 ounce jar of salsa (any kind you like)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
Instructions
- Add the chicken to your slow cooker and season with the fajita seasoning. Pour the salsa on top and then add the cream cheese. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place onto a board. Use a whisk to combine any remaining cream cheese into the sauce.
- Shred the chicken with two forks and return to the slow cooker. Stir the chicken into the sauce and serve, or turn your slow cooker to the “keep warm” setting until ready.
