Crock Pot Creamy Salsa Chicken-2

When one gives you salsa, you simply must make salsa chicken. It is a rule. And, a very GOODe rule ;).  So I grabbed one of my favorite crock pots— my trusty casserole crock– and got down to business.

Creamy Salsa Crock Pot Chicken

I started out with chicken tenders in the bottom of my crock pot and added a jar of Salsa Me Krazy’s Mild Salsa. Then I added some beans and mexicorn. When it came to the creamy sauce, I took a tip from my very popular Angel Chicken and whipped my cream cheese with my soup and seasonings before cRockin’ with my mixer. That tiny step makes a big difference in your sauce. Trust me ;).

I then threw the lid on and cooked on low for 2-3 hours– the perfect amount of time for me to run a couple errands and come home to dinner instead of running through the drive-thru.

UPDATE: Creamy Salsa Crock Pot Chicken won Battle Chicken on our YouTube Channel! So we now have a cooking show VIDEO from Mikey.

One of the great things about this recipe is how versatile it is and how easy it is to repurpose the leftovers. We love to enjoy it three different ways–  simply over rice or as incredible soft tacos or over a bed of nachos.

Notes

  • Like I mentioned before, I used one of my casserole crock pots for this recipe. The recipe filled the 3 1/2 quart 9 x13 crock all the way, so you could probably get away with using a 5 or 6 qt slow cooker with this recipe if you need to, you will just need to watch your time and check often. My guess is the chicken could be done as early as  1 1/2 hours in a large size crock.

  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • Finally, all slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

    I love Mexican cuisine & I prefer it hot. However I have to use medium or mild salsa for certain family & friends. I have tried your receipes before & I plan on making this new one this weekend.
