Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 - 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts thighs work too!
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 orange or yellow bell pepper diced
  • 15 oz jar mango salsa
  • 1 large, ripe mango cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ginger freshly grated
  • green onion sliced for garnish

Instructions

  • spray slow cooker with non-stick spray of choice
  • cut peppers and mango into chunks
    1 red bell pepper, 1 orange or yellow bell pepper, 1 large, ripe mango
  • add chicken into slow cooker
    1.5 - 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • add peppers, salsa, mango and seasonings into slow cooker and stir to combine
    1 red bell pepper, 1 orange or yellow bell pepper, 15 oz jar mango salsa, 1 large, ripe mango, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon ginger
  • cover and cook on low until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. This takes about 4 hours in my slow cooker.
  • remove chicken pieces from slow cooker, shred, and return to slow cooker
  • mix chicken shreds with sauce until fully combined
  • keep on warm until ready to serve.

Notes

Note:
Not all stores carry a salsa that is just mango salsa.  Peach mango salsa or pineapple mango salsa will work just as well.
