Crock Pot Salsa Lime Chicken uses simple chicken breast and store bought (no sugar added) salsa to amp up taco night. Everyone needs a 21 Day Fix recipe like this up their sleeve for those crazy weeks- just dump ingredients in the crock pot or Instant Pot and carry on!
What week isn’t crazy, you ask?
I’m not sure anymore!
Anyway, I wouldn’t even call this meal a recipe…it’s more like opening a jar and turning on a Crock Pot. But it tastes delicious and that’s all that matters.
**Oh – and I updated this with Instant Pot directions, so be sure to check out the recipe card below!
How to make Crock Pot salsa lime chicken:
1 . Throw some boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a Crock Pot.
2. Add a jar of Salsa – look for an organic brand that doesn’t have added sugar.
3. Cook on low for 4-6 hours, then squeeze on some fresh lime, and shred the chicken.
And that’s it.
The bonus – this is SO versatile. Serve it in tacos (be sure to use my taco seasoning), make a Flatbread pizza, or layer it over rice, zoodles or spaghetti squash.
The possibilities are endless, so make enough Crock Pot salsa lime chicken for the whole insane week ahead.
Enjoy!
Measure using RED – I’d count it as 1 RED and 1/2 GREEN 🙂
