Salsa Chicken

I don't remember exactly where I found this recipe but I'm so glad I did. I think this has to be one of my new favorite recipes. Two great things about this recipe is that it made in the slow cooker. It's always nice to throw things in the slow cooker go on about your busy day and return to a great smelling home and a home cooked meal without much effort. The other great thing is that it has salsa. I love to use salsa in recipes it adds so much flavor and you can adjust the recipe to your likings. I just hope your family enjoys it as much as we did.
