SLOW-COOKED SALSA CHICKEN

 Tender, succulent chicken breasts cooked all afternoon with fresh salsa... it disappears within minutes at dinner time.  Served with a vegetable (i.e. steamed asparagus or a mixed greens salad) it is a complete, super-simple, Paleo dinner.   It is one of my 'Go-To' meals that takes just minutes to toss in the crock pot and off I go conquering my 'to-do' list for the day.

Note: If you begin with frozen meat, then it will not overcook and dry out but will finish tender, moist and slow-cooked to perfection!  Combine El Pato tomato sauce with your favorite salsa and you will be adding just a touch of heat to this delicious meal. If you do not want the kick of heat, substitute a small can of tomato sauce for the El Pato.

This recipe is a popular one as it can be oven baked, pan fried or slow cooked.  Which ever way you choose to cook it, keep it simple and savor the flavors! 

SLOW-COOKED SALSA CHICKEN (Yep, it is Paleo!)

6 frozen chicken breasts (from pastured chickens is best!)
2 cups fresh or high-quality salsa 
1 small can El Pato jalapeno salsa (green label)
1 cup fresh salsa for garnish.


Toss everything into the crockpot.  Cover and cook on High for 4 hours.  Remove chicken from the pot and serve with fresh salsa spooned over top.  Enjoy!
