1L-Alison's Salsa Chicken

This dinner idea came to me from my dear friend, Alison.  It is incredibly simple and extremely delicious.  I didn't know it was going to be this good, so I did not take pictures.  But trust me - this is YUMMY!

You will need:

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Jar of salsa of your choice, enough to cover the chicken.  (I used a Medium Garlic Lovers salsa)
Shredded cheese (I used the Kraft 5 CHeese Mexican Blend)
Sour Cream
Tortillas (optional)


What to do:

1) Put chicken and salsa in crock pot.  Make sure salsa is covering chicken.
2)  Cook until the chicken starts to fall apart. (For me today that was an hour or so on high, then about 3-4 hours on low).
3)  Remove chicken.
4)  Shred the chicken and return to crock pot.
5) Cook for another hour or two on low.
6)  Empty chicken and salsa from crock pot into baking dish.
7)  Cover with shredded cheese.
8)  Bake in a 350° oven until cheese is melty and bubbly.
9)  That's it.  You're done!

Tonight I served this with tortillas and sour cream and it was fabulous!  Next time, I will be serving it over cilantro-lime rice.

Try this!  You will not be disappoint!  Again, many thanks to Alison for this one!
