Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless local chicken breasts (about 2 lbs total)
• 2 cups local salsa
• salt and pepper to taste
• fresh lime wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker and cover with salsa. Toss until the chicken is covered.
2. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours (or low for 6-8 hours), or until the chicken shreds easily with a fork. Shred the chicken in the slow cooker and toss with the remaining salsa and juices until well-mixed. Serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. (This chicken also freezes well.)
3. *You can really use just about any cut of chicken for this recipe. For easy shredding though (so that you don’t have to mess with bones), I recommend boneless chicken breasts or thighs.
