I had to be out for the day and I wanted to make something super easy and fast so dinner would be ready when I got home. Salsa Chicken to the rescue! It cooks up all by itself and is fall of the bone tender. I serve it over rice that I also mixed in some Edamame that I had in the fridge. We loved it!

How To Make salsa chicken

  • 1
    Heat some olive oil in a pan. I have a multi-cooker so I just used that. Add the chicken skin side down and brown. Flip and brown the other side and remove.

    Dump in the onions and saute to soften.
  • 3
    Pour in the corn and continue to saute until it browns a little.
  • 4
    Pour in half the jar of salsa and place reserved chicken on top.
  • 5
    Sprinkle spices over chicken skin and add the bay leaf.
  • 6
    Pour remaining salsa around chicken and rinse jar with a bit of water and add it too. (about a half cup)
  • 7
    Cook on Low for 5 hours.
  • 8
    I served this over rice but you could also use noodles or potatoes!
