Ingredients

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 jar(s) salsa (16 oz.)
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 c sour cream
mexican blend shredded cheese
white or brown rice

Steps:

1. Wash and place the chicken breasts into the crockpot.
2. Add the taco seasoning (I use regular because I don't like the chicken taco seasoning). Add the jar of salsa.
3. Cook for 8 hours on low.
4. Add the sour cream shortly before serving and stir. The chicken will shred and fall apart.
5. Serve over cooked rice. Sprinkle with cheese and Enjoy!

Tips:

For a spicier dish, use a hotter salsa. You can also add diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper to taste. For a milder flavor, use a mild salsa or add some sour cream or yogurt to the finished dish.
To make the chicken more flavorful, marinate it in the salsa for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You can also add other spices or herbs to the marinade, such as cumin, chili powder, or oregano.
If you don't have a crock pot, you can make this recipe in a Dutch oven over low heat. Just be sure to stir the chicken occasionally to prevent it from sticking.
Serve the chicken with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
