Crock Pot Salsa Chicken
"I have made this a lot and it goes over amazingly every time. Even my kids like it and they are pretty picky most of the time!! My husband actually gets excited when I say Im making it!! I use frozen chicken because I think that the flavor comes out better if it cooks for a bit longer. But you can use thawed"

- Put shredded chicken back into crock pot and mix well. After mixing if you notice excess liquid on top skim off excess with spoon. (you dont want it runny its better a bit firm).

- Stir occasionally to help mix cream cheese evenly and cook for about 30-40 more minutes.
- Cook Rice while the Chicken is finishing.
- When chicken is finished spoon over rice and enjoy!
