Old El Paso

Steps

    Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place chicken in slow cooker. Sprinkle taco seasoning over chicken; pour salsa over chicken.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you need dinner to be done faster, you can use the High heat setting on the slow cooker and cook the chicken for about 4 hours instead.
  • tip 2
    Use the shredded chicken as a burrito or taco filler instead of serving over rice.
