[...] who would not have made a good pioneer. But I embrace that about myself. Last night I cooked the Chicken with Salsa in my crockpot. A few nights ago I had chili in the crockpot. But the truth is that over the past [...]

I made this yesterday and was surprised by how tasty it was (I typically don’t like to use just salsa as a seasoning). It was popular with everyone and reminded us of a yummy crockpot chicken tortilla soup I make, but I think they are different enough I’ll be able to keep both recipes.

I’m looking forward to trying Carolyn’s trick of making the leftovers into enchiladas - YUM!

Oh yum! I love this.

I am going to have to make this today. I might add some chipolte sauce….or some mole. I am officially drooling.

Another winner! Thanks Chris!
(One question though….I cooked it on low for 9 hours and it smelled like it had sort of started to “burn” - do you think some crock pots run “hotter” than others?) Because of the burnyish smell I was a little afraid to try the finished product…but it was indeed delicious!

Chris says: Hmmm, that is entirely possible.

Question from a novice crockpot user..I assume this has to be cooked on low since it’s supposed to be on for 10hrs….

Chris says: Yes! On low.

I do a similar thing — I toss in frozen chicken breasts, sprinkle on a packet of taco seasoning, and add one can of chicken broth. (Same thing with shredding the chicken, but I put it back into the juice in the crock pot for a few minutes to let it rehydrate.)

Then, when I get home, I stand near the crockpot and whisper sweet nothings into its ear because my house smells like a cantina and dinner is only 5 minutes away.

Loved this recipe! Do you have any other crock pot recipes like this (ie, just dump everything into the pot at once without pre-cooking parts of the recipe in a skillet beforehand)?

This is a favorite in my household - I also add a couple cups of minute rice (cooked in the micro while I am shredding chicken) and let that cook until dinner time.
