Pineapple Salsa Chicken (Slow Cooker)

Ingredients:
  • 6 fresh or frozen chicken breasts
  • 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained*
  • 1 (15-ounce) can white beans, like Great Northern, rinsed and drained*
  • 2 cups mild or medium salsa
*Note: this recipe is so adaptable. These beans can be substituted to your preference.

Tortillas or tortilla chips and garnishes, like sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, etc.
Place the chicken in the crock pot and add the rest of the ingredients. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Using tongs, remove the chicken to a cutting board and shred into bite-size pieces. Mix the chicken back in with the rest of the ingredients. The mixture will be fairly soupy – I like to drain off some of the excess liquid before serving, especially if we are eating it in tortillas, so it doesn’t make everything soggy. Serve with tortilla chips and garnishes, like tomatoes, cheese, avocado, sour cream, etc.
*Freezable Option: I freeze the leftovers in freezer-safe ziploc containers and either place the frozen portion in my crockpot for a few hours the day I want to serve it or thaw the night before in the refrigerator and reheat on low in a saucepan.
Serves: 6-8
