Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    1 cup salsa
    1 package reduced sodium taco seasoning
    1 can reduced fat cream of mushroom soup (condensed)
    1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream

Directions

Add chicken to slow cooker.
Sprinkle taco seasoning over chicken.
Pour salsa and soup over chicken.
Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.
Serve with rice.

NOTES:
You may use half the packet of taco seasoning (I have started doing this to reduce sodium content myself)

Some slow cookers cook faster than others. Mine is a true slow cooker (have had it over 10 years.) The newer ones cook a bit faster and you may have to adjust your cooking time based on that!

    I used my own "taco seasoning" mix, added black beans and used a spicy corn salsa. Came out rather well! Thank you for the idea!!! - 9/22/09

    OMG, made this for dinner tonight and it's a huge hit! Thank you for the great recipe....easy and tasty. I put a bed of thinly sliced romaine and iceberg lettuce and put my cup of chicken on top of it...sprinkled with a smidge of low fat cheddar and thin tortilla strips. - 3/5/12

    I made it as written. Husband and Daughter raved about it. Definitely a keeper. I am going to try it with cream of chicken next time. Family was happy with the seasoning, but I think a bit more spice would be yummy. (I'll sneak some diced jalapenos in mine.) - 9/12/09

    I made it with cream of chicken, black beans, and subbed greek yogurt for sour cream. I just made it in the skillet by covering the chicken in the taco seasoning then following the slow cooker recipe only I cooked it stove top for about 20 minutes. So good my husband literally licked the pan!!! - 11/18/10

    Just trying it today but so far it smells very good. I did not have any sour cream so that may make a big difference. We will see. - 1/7/13

    Added corn and beans. Didn't have taco seasoning. Ate it with a tortilla and as a soup. It really was delicious and took 5 mins. - 11/9/10

    I rarely cook because cooking for one to me is a bummer. However, since I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle I am trying batch cooking. I made this pretty much as the recipe follows. I added a little more salsa. Anyhow FABULOUS! I am adding this to my favorites and will for sure make it again! - 10/29/10

    Delicious! Thanks SO much for this recipe! My husband is the pickiest eater (and usually doesn't like healthy versions of meals), and I was able to sneak some health into his diet with this recipe! :) I grilled the chicken, cut it up, combined all ingredients, cooked on high for 3.5-4 hrs, + rice. - 9/27/10

    Delicious! I added can black beeans and 1/2 cup water instead of the chicken broth. I have taken it in my lunch at work all week! Serve over rice with diced canned tomato and sour cream or as a burrito with the same. Wonder! - 3/25/10

    I am from a hispanic background, if you are expecting authentic mexican taste then this is not for you. It reminds me of a almost taco bell taste of chicken. We loved it even though is was not authentic. It was so easy to just throw in the crockpot in the morning and make burritos for dinner. - 2/11/10

    We loved this - I used Picante Sauce in place of Salsa, and I made my own taco seasoning using Hungarian Hot Paprika as one of the ingredients. I also inadvertently added the sour cream at the beginning but it turned out great anyway. - 1/21/10

    Holy guacamole this was amazing!!! (Unfortunately, I forgot the sour cream, so I imagine it could have even been better).
    This could possibly be the best spark recipe I've made in 10 months. My boyfriend and I LOVED IT! THANK YOU!

    Fantastic recipe. I made this for two, and skipped the sour cream. It was still amazing and full of flavor. Using a crockpot couldn't be easier! Consider adding mushrooms or corn for added bulk -- the salsa goes a long way. - 7/20/09

    I find boneless, skinless chicken breast gets overcooked in the crockpot, so we made it on the stove and added onions, garlic, parsley, and a touch of cayenne. It came out great! - 6/13/09

    Really good! I made half of the recipe camping, but I forgot the soup. It was a little runny (cuz of no soup?) I used it to put in low carb tortillas with shredded cheese. Very yummy! - 5/26/09
