3 helpful tips for making Crock Pot Pineapple Salsa Chicken:

  1. Use fresh chicken breasts – For the best texture and flavor, avoid frozen chicken unless it’s fully thawed before cooking.
  2. Don’t overcook – 4 to 6 hours on LOW is plenty. Overcooking can make the chicken dry.
  3. Add your healthy fat at serving time – Don’t mix it into the crock pot. Avocado, guacamole, or sour cream adds creaminess and flavor right before serving.
