Servings: 4
Calories: 288kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken boneless and skinless
- 1 cup salsa
- 14 oz package Trader Joe's "Fire Roaster Peppers and Onions"
- 2 cups chicken broth or water
- 1 tbsp Kouzini Picante Sweet Chipotle" spice blend
- pinch salt & pepper
Instructions
- Add the chicken to the bottom of a slow cooker and cover with salsa. Cook on "low" for 6-8 hours.
- Use two forks to break up the chicken into bite-sized shreds.
- Stir in the pepper & onion mixture, chicken broth, and spices, and cook for an additional 30 minutes on "high". Feel free to add more liquid to your preference.
- Serve hot, topped with avocado or cilantro, or just as it is! Enjoy!
Notes
- I used 1 lb of chicken breasts, 1 lb of thighs. You could use whatever cut you like!
- Either red or green salsa will work great! I used green in the pictures above.
- Chicken bone broth is our favorite nutrient-dense ingredient~ but water makes a great substitute if you're in a pinch and don't have any broth on hand.
- Although I love & recommend the Kouzini spices, feel free to substitute any Mexican or chipotle spice blend you have on hand. You could also combine a mixture of cumin, paprika, and chili powder to make your own.
