Ok, ok, I'll admit it - when I had heard people talking about this recipe, I was a little skeptical - even snobbish, if you will. The title just doesn't sound very appetizing to me - "Crockpot Salsa Chicken" - I always imagined it as throwing chicken in the crockpot with some jarred salsa and letting it go. Blech. Then I read the actual recipe - chicken...salsa...taco seasoning...cream of chicken soup...wait, WHAT?! Cream of chicken soup?!.....with SALSA?? Double blech!! But THEN I actually saw a picture of the stuff on Annie's blog, Cooking For Fun and it looked creamy and delicious! How could something that sounded so unappealing look so very enticing and comforting?? Well, I decided I just had to find out for myself if this was as delicious as it looked on Annie's blog! To get a second opinion, I even called up my sister and gave her the recipe and the idea to make it for her family's supper too! (we would compare notes later - that's what sisters do, right?) So she made hers and I made mine; the result: SUCCESS!!! It was completely delicious! Hubby gobbled it up over rice, and my sister's hubby ate his with tortillas and chips. I was surpised at how moist and flavorful the chicken was. My sis and I both agreed that this would be an excellent filling for enchiladas. I'll admit, even as I was combining the ingredients, I was still a little wary of it, but as it cooked and the smell starting filling my apartment, I knew it was going to be darned tasty! So thanks a heap, Annie - you convinced me! Next time, I'll think twice before turning my nose up at a recipe!

Crockpot Salsa Chicken

-Cooking For Fun blog

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup salsa-Fresh
1 package taco seasoning
1 can reduced fat cream of mushroom soup (condensed) or cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
 

Add chicken to slow cooker. Sprinkle taco seasoning over chicken. Mix salsa and soup (this was the part that looked a little iffy, but persevere! Its well worth it!); pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Shred chicken with a fork. Stir in sour cream until heated, then serve over rice or tortillas. I topped mine with cheese. De-lish!!

I was curious how it would turn out as well, but DH LOVES it. It's perfect for our busy lifestyle also.

Wow, that does actually look pretty good. Guess this fits in the category of "a picture's worth a thousand words", huh? By the pic, I'd make it! The ingredient list...not necessarily.
