Salsa Chicken {Revamped}

Our Salsa Chicken recipe is one of our most popular recipes and one that we make on a weekly basis.  We were starting to get pretty tired of it even after dressing it up with black beans, brown rice, or using it in a salad.  We decided we would start making it like we do the Buffalo Chicken with the chicken broth.  It gives it a nice, fresh new flavor!

Ingredients:

• 3-4 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 large diced tomatoes
• 1.5 cups (roughly) of your favorite salsa
• Organic chicken broth (enough to cover chicken)
• 2 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper (if you want to make it spicy)

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients to your crock pot except chicken broth and salsa.  Pour in chicken broth until chicken is covered.  Add half of the salsa to the crock pot.

2. Cook on low heat for at least 7 hours.

3. Once cooked, shred chicken with a fork.  Pour all broth out.

4. Return chicken crock pot and add remaining salsa.

5. Cook on high heat for an additional 30 minutes.

He & She Tip: Add sliced onion, bell peppers, cilantro, lime, or your favorite pepper to enhance the flavor.

• Frank's Red Hot Sauce
• Tabasco, to taste

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients except Frank's and Tabasco to your crock pot.  Cover chicken with Frank's (JUST enough to cover) and add Tabasco if you want it spicy or sub some Tabasco in the place of Frank's for less sodium.

2. Cook on low heat for at least 7 hours.

3. Once cooked, set aside 1/2 cup of broth and pour out the remaining.

4. Return chicken and 1/2 cup of saved broth to crock pot and cook on high heat for an additional 30 minutes.

He and She Tips: Frank's has 190mg of sodium per tsp and Tabasco only has 35mg of sodium per tsp! You can add the chicken to lettuce wraps for a festive appetizer while entertaining or for a more portable dinner!
