Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken
It's no secret, I love a good reason to celebrate. Heck, it doesn't even need to be a reason to have some fun or make some Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken for that matter. But, when there is one, you'll find me lining up with party hat on. On that note, there is a festive holiday that you may or may not know about yet. It's celebrated across Mexico and in other Latin American countries, it's called Día del Niño. If you are Spanish speaking or if you've got some schoolin' under your belt like I do, it means "Children's Day" or "Day of the Child". Mark your calendar for April 30th and hop on board and plan something too.
Now we know that children are celebrated on Día del Niño, but how exactly? That's a great question! It’s a time where communities come together and hold special events for children. They spend the time to remember the joys of childhood while sharing. It's a special time to share with your kiddos. To get the fiesta started, HERDEZ® Brand is helping us celebrate authentically, by inspiring the inner chef in every child. Maybe that means you'll share nostalgic recipes that remind you of your childhood or try some new authentic and easy Mexican recipes that are wholesome, fun and tradition based. I'm inviting you to have a little fun, get your hands dirty and cook up some love with your kids in the kitchen.
As you know, we just recently moved, I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to get my hands on some HERDEZ® Salsa Casera at my local grocery store. I've never been to Mexico, but I love that their salsa tastes just the like "authentic" salsa that I've come to enjoy over the years.
It's amazing that just cracking open the lid can summon so many memories and good feelings. Their salsa embraces my own approach with cooking, it contains only 5 simple ingredients yet packs a delicious punch. I couldn't help but to honor this simplistic product by making my own simple recipe. You might be familiar with my Fiesta Slow Cooker Chicken recipe which uses cheddar soup. This Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken scales back a bit and is made with simply chicken and salsa. So easy, so yummy.
The beauty of using HERDEZ® Salsa Casera in your slow cooker is that your home will smell amazing for hours.

Oh my goodness! I LOVE super easy meals! This one is calling my name. Since our family continues to grow, I don't have much time to spend in the kitchen, so I've fallen in love with slowcooker meals. Who can beat one that is ONLY 2 ingredients! I'm so glad I found you on the "Your Turn To Shine" link-up! Pinned for later!
Hi there! Visiting from Show Me Saturday. This looks so yummy and easy! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
Thanks for sharing a quick and tasty recipe with Idea Box link party! Looks fabulous!
We have a wee little Spanish speaker in our home. We might not be in Latin America, but we may have to plan a little activity for him to learn about this special day. I'm sure he would love this chicken too! Thanks for linking up with us at #FoodieFriDIY!
What a great idea! Why haven't I thought of this?!? What a great weeknight meal idea! So easy and tasty!

I make Salsa chicken all the time in the oven. I will have to try it in the slow cooker. I bet the meat is very tender.
I love, love, love this recipe. I use it all the time and love to add beans and corn and such to it.
Guess what I am making for dinner this week. Oh it looks so good. I love 2 ingredient dinners.
This looks so delicious! I'll definitely have to try out this recipe. I love salsa, so I bet this would be great over the chicken!
This looks so amazing! I cannot wait to make it! Herdez is my favorite salsa. Thank you for sharing.
I've been looking for new slow cooker meals. This one looks really good.
That looks so yummy! I think my husband would love it!
This looks so delicious! I've been looking for new and creative ways to cook chicken.
We used to make a dish like this in a Mexican restaurant I worked it. This looks so yummy and it is so easy!
Oh my gosh that looks so delicious. I'd love to make this with the "hot" salsa.
Mmm, this looks amazing. My husband will love this!
I always joke every day is 'kids day,' but never knew there literally ws one. This looks delicious for any night of the year!
That looks delicious! I will have to keep an eye out for the Herdez brand, but I love that your recipe is so simple and easy to pull off. Looks like the perfect busy weeknight dinner!
What a nice easy recipes. Love the simplicity - pinned!
Recipes like this are a win win. Right now while I am gardening and planting I need quick but delicious. You gave me all that with this recipe. Much appreciated. Yum!
This looks so good!!! I love adding salsa to recipes for some kick and veggies!
This sounds so good! And super easy to make!! I love my slow cooker.
I love this recipe because it doesn't get any easier than two ingredients in a crockpot for dinner! We live in Dallas and good salsa and chicken is a staple around here.
I am drooling over this right now. It is just the kind of meal that gets devoured in our house.
That looks so good! I've never tried Herdez before, but I'm always happy to try a new salsa. AND a new slow cooker recipe.
Herdez is my favorite salsa.
