Salsa Chicken

I learned this in Relief Society on Thursday and we had it for Sunday dinner. Super Easy.

Ingredients:
boneless, skinless chicken breast 6-8 pieces
salsa 1-2 8oz jars

Directions:
cover bottom of crock pot with chicken breast.
cover chicken completely with your favorite flavor chunky Salsa.
(We chose one with black beans, corn etc in it)
Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
use a couple of forks to shred chicken and stir completely into salsa mixture.

Serve over rice, between homemade rolls, or inside warm tortillas Yum!

Obviously the spiciness of this dish is directly related to the Salsa you use.

P.S. Kassi added a can of cut green beans to the chicken and salsa - it came out fine and she didn't have to worry about what vegetable to serve with it.
