3 Different Dinners from One basic recipe!

My favorite way to cook chicken? The Crock pot! This is the easiest chicken recipe ever.

4-6 Chicken breast halves

1 jar of your favorite salsa

1 can green chilis

Put it all in the crock pot, make sure chicken is coated. Cover and cook 6-8 hours on low or 4-6 hours on high. Shred with two forks. If you over cook it though, it will get dry. Make a big batch and freeze it for later!

Now 3 different ways to use this chicken:

CHICKEN SOFT TACOS

Use the above chicken mixture

Favorite tortillas (for a healthier choice use whole grain or sprouted tortillas)
