This is one of my favorite recipes. Easy to make, healthy, and full of flavor. Just put all the ingredients in a slow cooker and let the machine do the work. There are infinite variations as to how to use the finished product, and your family is guaranteed to like each one.
This is a keeper for sure! Easy, delicious, and filling. Used salsa style fire roasted diced tomatoes instead of the Rotel because it's what I had. Used it tonight as a filling for tacos. Thinking about using the leftovers in soup of some kind. The husband who rarely rates any recipe high gave this one 5 stars! He thought it was better in a hard corn tortilla as opposed to a soft one.

I followed suggestions and used fire roasted tomatoes & used fire roasted salsa. I lightly sautéed the onions, celery and peppers before putting in the crock pot. This was delicious!! Served with fresh cilantro and sour cream on warmed tortillas.
Excellent!!!!

I had high expectations about this recipe, but it just didn't turn out for me. After tasting it and deciding I had to do something...I added some salt, pepper and some mixed dried herbs after draining some of the liquid out of it and shredding the chicken. I then let it slow cook for another hour and it was better. I really think it was the salsa I used and maybe if I had used the fire roasted diced tomatoes that Paula suggested in her review it might have been a lot better. My suggestion? Use a really flavorful salsa and the fire roasted tomatoes and you might have a winner. Thanks Carajeanne for submitting this as it has great potential using the right ingredients. **Addendum 9-21-14--Because mine turned out extra spicy I added it to some cooked white rice...and...Viola!...it made a great tasting "Spanish Rice"! So, you never know what a difference one ingredient can make!

Since going back to school my life has gotten increasingly busy. It is hard to make a meal every night and especially something that is at least a little bit healthy. My mom had given me a crockpot after she found a really good deal on it so I started asking people for great recipes that could be made in a slow cooker that were not all that unhealthy. A coworker introduced me to the Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken recipe on AllRecipes so I tried it. I have since made the recipe about 20 times, I am absolutely in love with it and I make sure I have all of the ingredients on hand. I have substituted the diced tomatoes with green chilies with plain diced tomatoes if I don’t have the ones with chilies; it still tastes just as good. This is such a super easy recipe to make and there aren’t many ingredients to it. I have used this concoction in burritos, on top of rice and even on top of a salad. It is such a versatile meal that tastes different depending on how you prepare it. I would highly recommend this slow cooker meal to anyone I know and as a matter of a fact I do tell everyone who asks me about a great recipe about this one.

I only used 1 pound of chicken and added a can of black beans. I kept the rest of the ingredients the same amount of the 8 servings. It was the perfect amount of chicken for all the other ingredients. I thought I would put it over rice but it's so hearty I haven't needed to add anything. Will definitely add this to my regular rotation.

Good and so easy! I subbed extra carrot for celery and homemade fajita seasoning for taco (1 tbsp chili powder 1 tsp each cumin salt and pepper 1/2 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp each garlic powder onion powder and red chili flakes). Served in tortillas with sauteed peppers avocado and greek yogurt.

Will definitely make again. I used the suggestion of adding black beans and corn and served with shredded lettuce, cheese, and sour cream as a complete entree with Spanish rice and blue corn tortilla chips as sides. I did add an extra chicken breast to make less saucy and also used fire roasted tomatoes. Leftovers ( not much) after family of 4, (2 adults & 2 teen boys), I froze and later made soup adding 2-3 c. chicken stock, torn soft bite size tortilla shells and 8 oz mexican style cheese. Serve with dollop of sour cream with sprinkles of cheese for another great meal.

I used Rotel with Green Chiles (all I had) and shredded carrots for cooking and was a little generous on the taco seasoning. I rubbed the taco seasoning into the chicken breasts before cooking. It was DELICIOUS! Will definitely be making this again.
