This Crockpot Salsa Chicken in the Express Crock can be made two ways. A healthy version with just two to three ingredients or jazzed up with only a few more!

The healthy version is just chicken and salsa! If you want to add a taco seasoning packet or even a Ranch packet for even more flavor feel free to do so. I don’t always, but when I do I am loving this Organic Gluten-Free McCormick. For a creamier version, just simply add some corn, black beans and cream cheese that makes this dish even more delicious.

I like to use the Neufchâtel cream cheese, but regular Philadelphia is great, too! Both are creamy and delicious, but the difference is that Neufchâtel is 1/3 less fat with slightly lesser calories.

What is the Express Crock?

If you’ve been here before than you know how much I love the Crockpot Express Multi-Cooker. It is Crock-Pot® brands version of the Instant Pot that allows you to cook just like your used to on slow cooker mode, but it also has a pressure cooker ability for those times you need dinner fast! It’s a two in one appliance that barely leaves my countertop anymore!

This crockpot salsa chicken can be made on slow cooker or pressure cooker mode with minimal effort. An easy meal that will certainly be on your weekly rotation! I make it both ways, sometimes twice a week and love to store the healthy version in meal prep containers with a veggie like cauliflower rice for a quick on-the-go meal! Looking for great meal prep containers? I love here. It is another one of my favorites to meal prep for the week.
