Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 3 lb of chicken breast (boneless and skinless)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground red cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1 16 ounce your favorite sugar free salsa
  • 5 cups of fresh spinach

Instruction

  • In a bowl combine chicken and all ingredients through ground black pepper. Toss together to coat chicken.
  • If you do not have the capability to sear or brown your meat in your slow cooker use a heavy skillet, like cast iron.
  • Over medium heat melt coconut oil and add onion, sauté 2-3 minutes until softened.
  • Push onion to the outer edge of pan and add chicken. Cook until chicken starts to brown, about 4-5 minutes, flip and cook other side until browned, an additional 4-5 minutes.
  • If using skillet add all ingredients to slow cooker.
  • Add salsa over the top of chicken and cook on low for 2 hours.
  • Using two forks shred chicken, this should be very easy to do. If you are struggling to pull chicken apart cook an additional 30 minutes.
  • Add spinach and cook on low for 15 minutes or until the spinach is wilted. You may need to flip it a few times.
  • Serve and enjoy.
