Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 cup salsa see notes

Instructions

  • Place the chicken in the bottom of a slow cooker. Sprinkle with the chili powder.
  • Pour the salsa over the top of the chicken.
  • Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours, until the chicken easily shreds apart with a fork.
  • Shred the chicken, stirring to combine with the salsa. Serve hot.

Notes

We like to use Mateo’s salsa or any other no sugar added salsa. Check the labels - some do have added sugar. The nutrition is based off a salsa with 2 carbs per 2 tablespoons.
Serve over cauliflower rice, in a low carb tortilla, or as the base of a protein bowl with avocado, cheese, and any other favorite toppings.
This recipe doubles easily and can be frozen. 
I didn't measure the serving size by volume, just divided into 8 equal servings.
