Step by step

Method

5 steps

1. 1

   Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder over both sides, then pour the salsa around and over the chicken.

2. 2

   Cover and cook on high for about 2½ hours or low for about 5 hours. The chicken is ready when the thickest piece reaches 165°F and a fork slides in easily.

3. 3

   Move the chicken to a plate and rest it for 5 minutes. Shred it with two forks, then return it to the salsa and cooking juices.

4. 4

   Stir until every strand is coated. Taste and add a little lime juice, salt, or extra salsa if needed.

5. 5

   Use the chicken in tacos, burritos, nachos, salads, or rice bowls. Cool leftovers promptly and keep them chilled.
