Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken
Sounds really good, and only 3 ingredients. Also the use of an oven is needed to brown up the cheese. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 cups salsa, OR make from a shortcut listed on this site
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in your slow cooker, pour salsa over the top, cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours on High setting. If you over cook it the chicken will fall apart.
- When the chicken is almost done, preheat your oven to 220 C. Using a 9x9 or 9x13 baking dish, carefully place the chicken in the dish, spoon some of the salsa from the pot over the top of the chicken and sprinkle with the cheese. If you like cheese, use 1 1/2 or 2 cups. Bake for 15 minutes or until it is golden brown and bubbly. Serve with with a salad and a vegetable side of your choice.
Notes
Chicken will run 63 Baht/kilo, for 6 breasts I will estimate 90 Baht. For the cheese, if using just 1 cup of shredded, figure 90 Baht, if 2 cups, figure 180 Baht (180 is the cost of a block). Make the salsa yourself for savings as well. For the chicken and 1 cup of cheese, this is about 90 cents per serving for 6 servings.
