Meals in my house are always EASY and QUICK. I don’t really enjoy cooking as much as I do baking, so it feels like more a chore. But I’m also not willing to sacrifice taste (I want bomb meals) and my family cannot survive on cookies alone (though I could). Meet SLOW COOK SALSA CHICKEN QUINOA CHILI. It’s the easiest thing in the whole world to make for dinner and you’ll have leftovers too. It’s a win-win.
Ingredients
- 1 can corn, drained
- 1 can chickpeas, drained
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
- ¾ cup dry quinoa
- 1 16oz jar mild salsa of choice
- 4 cloves crushed garlic
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp oregano
- juice of one lemon
- 3 cups chicken broth (i used bone broth!)
- 1 pound skinless organic chicken thighs
Instructions
- In a slow cooker add all ingredients
- Set on high for 3 1/2-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
- Then remove the cover, take a couple of forks and shred the chicken by pulling it apart.
- That’s it!I added avocado, arugula and chopped almonds on top for some extra texture. Hope you guys love this!

Added more seasonings to our liking
This worked out pretty well, but I definitely added more seasoning like garlic pepper, rosemary, and some chili powder. It’s a good meal to warm up my family and I didn’t have a slow cooker, so it took about 30 minutes on the stove on high.
This worked exactly as written, thanks!
