Steps
- Place the chicken in the slow cooker and season with cumin, chili powder and salt.
- Pour the salsa over the top.
- Cook on low 4 hours (or high 2 1/2) until the chicken reads 165°F and shreds easily.
- Shred with two forks in the juices and serve in tortillas or over rice.
Swaps
- No chili powder? Use cumin plus a pinch of paprika and cayenne.
- Turkey works the same way as chicken; cook both to 165°F.
Times are a guide; ovens and air fryers vary. Cook poultry to 165°F, ground meat to 160°F, and pork and fish to 145°F. Diet tags come from the ingredient list; check labels for allergens.
