Notes

  • Cook for a shorter time if you want chicken that you can slice instead of shredded chicken.
  • If you want a thicker Chicken Salsa meal, you can remove some salsa liquid when shredding the chicken.
  • Put the chicken in a bowl and use a hand mixer or your stand mixer to shred it easily.
  • Check the internal temperature of your chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure the temperature has reached 165 degrees F / 74 degrees C.
  • I prefer to use smooth, blended salsa for this simple recipe.
  • When reheating, you may want to add some extra salsa to help prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • To stick to Keto, Paleo, and Whole30 dietary guidelines, check the ingredients in your taco seasoning, fajita seasoning, and store-bought salsa.
  • Storage - Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. 
  • There are 0 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
