Slow Cooker Fiesta Chicken: Directions
-
Spray the slow cooker inside with no-stick spray if you want easy cleanup.
-
Put the raw chicken breasts flat on the bottom. They can overlap a bit.
-
Shake the taco seasoning all over the chicken.
-
Dump the whole can of diced tomatoes (with juice) on top so red chunks spread out.
-
Pour the green salsa over it all to cover the chicken and tomatoes.
-
Put on the lid. Cook on LOW 6-7 hours or HIGH 3-4 hours until chicken is done and soft. Check it hits 165°F inside.

Shred chicken with two forks right in the pot. Stir into the sauce. Try a little and add salt or pepper if you want.
-
Set to WARM. Let it sit 10-15 minutes to soak up flavors. Serve hot with sides and toppings.
