So you have frozen chicken breasts in the freezer and need to make dinner? Throw them in the slow cooker with some salsa, lime juice and some seasonings and you'll get perfectly shreddable chicken that you can serve in burritos, enchiladas, tacos, salads or quesadillas. Dinner can't get easier than this!

Slow Cooker Salsa Lime Chicken (from frozen)

chicken breast

lime juice

salsa sauce

tsp cumin

tsp chili powder

garlic powder

tsp kosher salt

cilantro

Add all ingredients except for cilantro into the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until chicken is tender.

Remove chicken and place on a cutting board. Shred the chicken and then return it back into the crock.

Stir chicken in with the juices. Add in the cilantro. Serve and enjoy!

I just made this for dinner and oh boy is it delicious. My whole family loved it!!

Was looking for a quick way to use what I had at home for dinner last night and found your recipe.  It was so delicious I went ahead and made it again today.  It's going directly into my weekly meal prep plan for lunch at work.  Try adding fresh avocado slices when you serrve...superb.  Thank you for posting.

Just what I was looking for!  Love how you can use frozen chicken! I cooked this on high in my crockpot for 3 hours. Tender and easy to shred chicken. Tasty served on tortillas with avocado, tomatoes, sour cream and cheese! I might use the leftovers for enchiladas or over a salad. So good!

After trying this recipe and serving it to my grown sons, their feedback was astounding.  Just added some spiced up guacamole and wrap in corn tortillas with a side of homemade salsa, it was all gone in no time.  Their only complaint, "not enough"!

Fantastic recipe. Everyone loved it at work. My kids loved it too.

Delicious and so easy, and my three year old loved it too. Thank you!

I have picky eaters but all of this is GONE after dinner!  I have one daughter who just loves tacos, but not the meat (ground beef) that the 'box' calls for.  She will typically eat a shell with lettuce, cheese, and sour cream.  But I found this recipe when I was looking about cooking frozen chicken.  OMG.  I've made it about five times since this covid-19 shut in has started.  This is a perfect recipe and the chicken comes out GREAT every time. All three of my kids eat it - and so do we!  I am so glad you posted this.  Thank you!!

I was looking for a quick and easy meal with the frozen chicken I had in my fridge. I had forgotten to do any shopping and had limited ingredients. I threw this in the crockpot in the morning and it was just about ready when we got home from church. Perfect after-church lunch!! I didn’t need to make any adjustments.

I HATE cooking!!! Like really dislike it...having said that, I still have to do it from time to time (my hubby does a lot). This recipe has SAVED MY LIFE!!! First off, it's so refreshing to read a CROCKPOT recipe that doesn't require me to do any work beforehand.  I mean, isn't that why people use crockpots?! Secondly, I never remember to thaw so this is great to be able to use frozen chicken. Third and most importantly, IT'S DELICIOUS!! The whole family loves it and it's now like the 3rd or 4th time I'm making it.  I never write comments on recipes but I just hade to tell you how much I appreciate this golden nugget :)
