Salsa Chicken...Clean Eating, Gluten Free

I got this FABULOUS recipe from a sweet friend I went to nursing school with. She introduced me into the world of clean eating and I love it. Its so easy and makes such great sense! (she has a great site online that you can find here) I also have a gluten sensitivity so some of my recipes are gluten free or gluten reduced. I always chose the GF alternative when I can.



Ingredients

  • Chicken breasts 3-4 pieces
  • 1 Jar of simple truth organic corn and black bean salsa (found at Kroger) If you don't have a kroger just choose a salsa with very minimal ingredients and little to no sugars, and free of preservatives and additives. A good rule is 5 ingredients or less. 
Directions
Simply toss chicken fresh or frozen into crockpot, pour salsa over the top and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours. Shred with a fork and enjoy!

They also sell a salsa verde version. While I don't bake with this one I love it for a topper over your salsa chicken creations!

The possibilities are endless with this one...here are a few options we have come up with.
  1. Chicken tacos
  2. Taco salad
  3. Enchilada with salsa verde topper
  4. Chicken quesadillas 
  5. Over Rice
  6. On a baked potato, add black beans and cheese.
  7. On a plate with side items like black beans and salad
  8. Spooned over a slice of cornbread with melted cheese and sour cream
  9.  ...Now it's your turn...
  10.  Don't forget to share your ideas too!
