boneless
skinless chicken breast
½
cup
salsa
½
cup
brown sugar
1
tablespoon
cumin
4
oz
can of green chilies
6
oz
of Sprite
Instructions
Combine all ingredients, except chicken, in a medium bowl.
Place the chicken in the slow cooker.
Pour the salsa mixture on top and cook on low for about 5 hours.
Remove the chicken and shred or cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Then return it to the slow cooker and cook for 1 more hour.
To thicken the sauce, remove the chicken, dissolve 4 teaspoons of cornstarch in 6 tablespoons water, then stir it into the sauce in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for about 10 minutes, until thickened.
Add the chicken back to the slow cooker with the sauce and toss to coat.
Serve on a salad, in a tortilla, or taco with fixings.
Notes
If you prefer it spicier, add a hotter salsa and more green chilies.
