This salsa chicken recipe could hardly be any easier. You simply throw the chicken, salsa, corn, beans and garlic together in your slow cooker and turn the dial. Because it cooks all day, or for at least a few hours, the chicken breasts take on a sumptuous texture and flavor you wouldn’t get from grilling or cooking chicken in your oven. Unlike other salsa chicken recipes, this one uses Mexican-style corn, which adds a touch of sweetness, plus the color of red and green peppers, and minced garlic.

Be sure to use mild salsa for any spice-sensitive taste buds in your household, or hotter salsa if you all prefer extra heat. You can always serve hot sauce or peppers on the side for the spice lovers. Keep in mind that slow-cooking deepens flavors, hotter spices included.

Serve the chicken rolled up, taco style, with whatever toppings your family loves. You can also serve it over rice or atop mixed greens with tortilla chips for a taco-style salad.
