Skinny Pineapple Salsa Chicken

It has been HOT here in Cincinnati the past week.  I love salsa chicken in the slow cooker but I wanted to “Summer it up” a little bit for a change of pace and to reflect the sunny sweltering weather we’ve having! I made quite a bit of this so I could freeze for later, but it’s an easy recipe to cut in half if you’d like as well :)

Skinny Pineapple Salsa Chicken

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
  • • 2 cups salsa
  • • 3 zucchinis
  • • 2 cans "chunk" pineapple (NOT IN SYRUP!)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breast in the bottom of your slow cooker
  2. Cover chicken completely with salsa
  3. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours. Depending on how much liquid is expelled during the cooking process, sometimes I drain some liquid before the next step... shred chicken (this should be very easy
  4. Add pineapple - one can with juice, one can without
  5. Chop zucchini into bite sized pieces and add to the chicken mixture
  6. You can then serve immediately - OR if you like your veggies cooked and not raw - cook on high for 30 minutes to an hour before serving
