Crock-Pot Salsa Chicken

August 19, 2015 by Cassie Leave a Comment

Sometimes I think about what The Carnivore would be like if I wasn’t around. Would he smell from unwashed clothes? Would an inch of dust collect on the mantel? Would he starve? I know he wouldn’t do a weekly grocery run to Target, so I imagine him living off Cane’s, Frosted Flakes, or possibly putting his hunter/gatherer skills to use and living off the land Bear Grylls style.

Either way, I’d like to think things would be a little bit different.

Chase is not one to cook because you know what comes with cooking? Cleaning. He hates cleaning. If I don’t have a plan for dinner, he will suggest eating out in a heartbeat. I do my best to plan meals in advance, but if he catches me with chicken thawed and no plan for it, The Carnivore’s go-to suggestion is this Salsa Chicken. I think he loves it because he doesn’t have anything to help clean up – paper plates and Crock-Pot liners are his jam, y’all.

I find comfort in knowing that if he needed to break up the monotony of Frosted Flakes, he could feed himself this Salsa Chicken.

Crockpot Salsa Chicken

Cast of Characters:

  • 4 chicken breasts (thawed)
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 can/box cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 packet low-sodium taco seasoning (we only use half)
  • brown rice (optional)

Salsa Chicken IngredientsIn a Crock-Pot, with a liner for easy clean-up, combine cream of mushroom soup, salsa, and taco seasoning. Stir together until combined. Add chicken breasts to crock-pot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. 6 hours is perfect for my Crock-Pot.

While the chicken is cooking prepare your brown rice.

Brown Rice GrainsThis is where The Carnivore and I differ. I spend 45 minutes making slow-cooked brown rice. If I wasn’t around, he would make an individual Minute “Ready to Serve” Brown Rice cup. To each their own.

When your chicken is ready, top a scoop of brown rice with a chicken breast, and spoon some of that super delicious salsa mixture over the top.

Easy! Now throw that paper plate away, lift the liner out of your Crock-Pot and clean-up is done.
