Salsa Chicken in Slow Cooker
This is officially going down as my favorite way to make chicken in the slow cooker. The chicken slow cooks until tender, juicy, and full of flavor, taking most of the work off your plate. The depth of flavor that the CITREVE freeze dried cherry tomatoes adds is just amazing. I like to grind mine into a fine powder in a mini food processor, but you could just crush them with your hands too. Once you make this chicken, try it in my gluten free baked chicken tacos!

- Add the chicken breasts to your crockpot and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and ground tomatoes. Pour the salsa over the top.
- Cook on high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is fork tender, shreds easily, and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Cook time may vary by slow cooker.
- Shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, then let it sit in the salsa juices on warm for 20 to 30 minutes. This helps the chicken soak up flavor and stay juicy.
- Serve warm in a rice bowl, add to your tacos, top your nachos, fill your enchiladas or enjoy on their own.
