Crock Pot Salsa Chicken

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1 can cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup (I used the cream of chicken)
1 cup salsa 
1 Tbs. taco seasoning
1 cup sour cream 
cilantro, for serving (optional) (I also added a little shredded cheddar-jack, black beans and scallion on top)

Directions: 

Put chicken, soup, and salsa in slow cooker. Sprinkle taco seasoning over everything. Cook on low for 6 hours. If shredding the chicken, pull the breasts out and shred; return back to slow cooker. Stir in sour cream and heat just until everything is combined.

**I like this crock pot chicken better than crock pot fiesta chicken--the one with cream cheese**
