Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken Recipe Ingredients

The first thing you will need is the chicken. This recipe calls for 1.5-2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast. You will be shredding this chicken a bit in the end so it is important that there is no skin or bones.

Jasmine rice will help add some starch to the dish and you will need water or chicken broth as well. This is when you will need to decide if you want to make your own salsa or use a premade salsa of your choice.

Cilantro will help freshen things up and salt and pepper to taste. That’s it, it is that simple.
