The chicken became so soooooft and unbelievably tasty!
I am so glad you enjoyed it Jenny!
Hello, i just wanted to say i love all ur recipes. They make shopping on a budget so easy and flavorful at the same time. The peach salsa chicken was a huge hit in my house, my 13 yr old son went crazy for it. I went the extra mile feeling a bit ambitious lol and used my cast iron grill pan to sear the chicken for 3 min each side so it had that grilled flavor the cooked on high for 2 to 3 hrs. Topped with cheese, sour cream and green onions, wow great meal and super cheap to make. Keep pinning :0) thanks .
Aww ~ thanks for the sweet comment, Lori… I’m so glad to hear you and your family are enjoying the recipes!! 🙂
Just wondering how does this taste. Is it very spicy??
Hi Ceci ~ I used medium Salsa and it wasn’t too spicy. The preserves sweeten it up, and cut down on the spice level. If you like spicy, you could substitute hot salsa, or if you prefer mild, just substitute mild salsa. Hope that helps! 🙂
Do you think you could use these same ingredients with frozen meatballs instead of chicken? I am having cheese and green chile tamales and it would be nice to have a meat dish to go along. That way the vegans and the meat lovers would be satisfied.
Hi Denise ~ hmm… I haven’t tried, but it sounds interesting! If you try it, let me know how they turn out! 😉
This recipe is great!! Thank you.
You’re very welcome ~ so glad you liked it!! 🙂
Can you use sugar-free products?
Hi Valerie ~ I haven’t tried with sugar-free products, but if you do… let me know how it turns out!
It turns out fine with sugar free peach preserves!
So glad to hear that… thanks for letting us know!
I’m just curious how you serve it. Do you serve it over something, or what sides would go well with it? It sounds delicious!
Hi D ~ it’s delicious served with a side of rice. Enjoy!! 😉
Peach preserves are a jelly product. It’s basically jelly that also has fruit chunks in it. Look for it in the jelly section of the grocery store. It comes in other flavors, not just peach.
Do you put water in the crockpot with the chicken? Or just the chicken by itself? I guess you can tell I don’t cook often, but I’d really like to try this!
Hi Shirley ~ correct… no water is necessary. The chicken will end up cooking in its own juices. Hope that helps! 😉
