Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and then spread the taco seasoning all over the top of chicken breasts.
- Pour the jar of salsa over the seasoned chicken and lay the cream cheese on top of the salsa and chicken mixture.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook the chicken on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, use two forks to shred the tender chicken directly in the slow cooker.
- Stir the shredded chicken with the salsa and melted cream cheese until it is fully combined.
Notes
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Freeze: This creamy shredded chicken freezes well. Cool it completely, then store it in freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags for up to 3 months.
- Microwave: Heat your leftovers in a microwave-safe container in 1-minute intervals, stirring between each, until heated through (which will take about 2-3 minutes total).
- Stovetop: Reheat this easy meal in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until warm (about 5-7 minutes).
- Thaw the chicken salsa overnight in the refrigerator.
- Reheat it using one of the above methods.
- If you happen to be reheating from frozen, use the slow cooker on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
