Here’s a super simple “dump-and-go” slow cooker chicken recipe using frozen chicken breasts and just 3 other ingredients:
🍗 Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken (4 Ingredients Total)
🛒 Ingredients
- 2–3 frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 jar (16 oz) salsa
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade taco spice)
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained (or corn)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Add to slow cooker
Place the frozen chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker. - Add other ingredients
Pour salsa over the chicken. Sprinkle taco seasoning on top. Add black beans (or corn). - Cook
- Low: 6–8 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
- Shred chicken
Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker and mix with the sauce. - Serve
- Tacos, burritos, or quesadillas
- Over rice or quinoa
- As a filling for sandwiches or nachos
🌟 Tips
- Add extra vegetables like bell peppers or onions if you want (optional).
- For a creamier version, stir in ½ cup cream cheese or sour cream at the end.
- Works with chicken thighs too—they stay juicier.
I can also give 3 more dump-and-go variations with frozen chicken breasts—like BBQ, honey garlic, or Italian-style—with just 3–4 ingredients each.
