crock pot salsa chicken

Who doesn't love a meal made in the crock pot? Slow cooking is the best... set it and forget it! Well, not completely forget it, because then it over cooks, but you get what I mean.
This recipe is really just doctored up salsa and chicken that is slow cooked all day long. I used tequila lime salsa and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce for the salsa, but you can use whatever peppers and salsa you would like. Mild, medium, hot, black bean, mango, whatever.
Dump it all in on top of some chicken tenders or breasts that are thawed (or frozen) and cook for 4 hours. Mine cooked for 6.
Presto, chango! Look at that. A chicken salsa good pot that I will be scrubbing later! That's the only downside to crock pots :)
