Salsa Chicken

 








     Two words, three exclamation points...Salsa Chicken!!!  This is what the title suggests it is, but what it doesn't say is how laughably easy it is and how versatile it can be.  With 5 simple ingredients, you can turn this into a salad topper, a wrap, or straight from the fork!  And I've been holding out on the best part, it cooks in a crockpot.  Super simple clean up with a liner on board.  So get your creative juices flowing for how to best utilize this dish, dream of the many different ways it can make your life better!  And if high protein low carb is your spirit animal, just another reason to try it on for size!  ;)

Ingredients~
2 pounds Chicken Breast
Dash Cayenne to taste
Dash Chili Powder to taste
Dash Cumin to taste
16oz container of Salsa
1 drained can of Black Beans

     Add Chicken to lined crockpot, and season with the 3 C's, pour the Salsa on top, and cook on low for 3-4 hours, 2 hours on high.  When done cooking, Chicken is ready when falls apart with 2 forks, shred into pieces, and stir in Beans.  Serve as desired.  I served mine on mixed Greens with sliced Avocado, Fage Greek Yogurt, roasted Sweet Potato, extra Salsa and sliced Green Onions.  Enjoy  :)
