I am not a chef by any stretch, therefore, I love easy meals. That is why I am in love with this easy slow cooker salsa chicken dish. Super simple, anyone, including me, can do.

My family loves Mexican food. If it were up to my husband, we would eat Mexican food every night of the week. He self admittedly “loves to sweat” while he eats. I don’t understand that either. Not for a second.

But that’s him. I just gotta love him for what he loves.

That’s why this easy salsa chicken is a win, win for me and my family. Super easy to make and definitely easy to love.

I can make it as mild as possible and then have spicy goodies on the side for him to doctor his up.

Spicy Options

For everyone: Add a can of green chilies to the recipe for an extra kick of flavor and heat.

On the side: Have you tried the Herdez Guacamole Salsa? OMG! It is amazing.

I’m not a very spicy eater… but I find myself adding this little gem on so many foods.

And of course, chopped up jalapenos and any other spicy pepper you want.

Go for it… you do you. I’ll be over here.

Options

Not only is this great to store in the fridge for the week’s upcoming dinners, but what a delicious breakfast option. Fry up an egg, warm up some of the chicken, and either toast up a piece of multigrain bread or English muffin for a deliciously healthy breakfast.

For me? I skip the bread as I watch my carb intake and just throw that egg on top of the chicken along with some avocado slices and Herdez Guacamole Salsa and this mama is set!

Meal prep

This easy salsa chicken is a great recipe to double and triple up.

I’m such a huge believer to never cook for that night but to cook for the week or months ahead.

I came from a family of 7 and now have a family of 6 of my own. I grew up watching my mom “cook for an army”… and now I’m living that same life.

If I am going to take the time and energy to cook (which I’ve already told you I don’t love), then I might as well really DO IT.

When we grocery shop we get more than we need for that week. Then we take a day, usually a Sunday, to cook it. We freeze what we don’t need that week for the future weeks ahead.

This easy salsa chicken freezes really well and can be stored up to 6 months.
