Slow-Cooker Salsa Chicken image

This is a go-to recipe when I know I'll be having a busy day. My family loves salsa, so I came up with this recipe for something to throw into a slow cooker and simmer on low. We love it served over rice or noodles and topped with tortilla chips and sour cream. -Deborah Pennington, Decatur, Alabama
