Crock Pot Taco Chicken With Salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make Mexican-inspired dish that is perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekends. The dish consists of chicken breast cooked with taco seasoning, stewed tomatoes and salsa verde in a slow cooker until tender and juicy. The chicken is then shredded and mixed with the sauce, creating a flavorful and versatile dish that can be served in tacos, burritos, bowls or salads. You can also customize the recipe to suit your tastes by adjusting the level of spices or adding toppings like cheese, sour cream or avocado. For a healthier version, you can use low-sodium taco seasoning, no-sugar-added salsa and serve the dish on a bed of lettuce instead of tortillas.

Instructions

1.	Season chicken breasts with taco seasoning and place at the bottom of a crock pot.
2.	Pour stewed tomatoes and salsa verde over the chicken. Sprinkle kosher salt over everything.
3.	Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3-4 hours, or until chicken is tender and fully cooked.
4.	Remove chicken from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Return shredded chicken to the crock pot and mix well with the sauce.
