Crockpot Freezer Salsa Chicken

This is another one of the freezer crock-pot meals that I made a while back.  I am just having a hard time finding time to post this stuff.  I was going to take the time yesterday but since the weather was so nice I decided to clean the oven and steam clean the downstairs carpets.  It was the first time the temperature rose above 60 this season.  I opened a lot of windows and really took advantage of it...

Crock-pot Salsa Chicken


Ingredients:
3 or 4 large chicken breast
1 container of salsa
1 can tomato sauce
2-3 tablespoons taco seasoning

Directions:
Place all ingredients in a gallon size freezer bag.  Label the bag with date, name, and how long to cook.  If you really want, you can also add what you would serve it with.  I haven't done that but since these recipes were new to me, it would have been helpful.
When you are ready to cook it, take it out of the freezer the night before so that it has time to thaw.  Empty the entire bag in the crock-pot and cook on low for 8 hours.  When it is cooked, take the chicken out of the crock-pot and shred.  You don't even have to remove it from the crock-pot but it makes the process easier.  Then put the shredded chicken back in the crock-pot and serve.
Most of my children weren't home at the time I made this so it went a long way.  We were able to get several different meals out of it.  The first meal we served it on tortilla shells with cheese, tomato, lettuce, etc.  The second meal I created a salad and put that on top.  Another option is to serve it on dinner rolls or mini sub buns.  It would make awesome sandwiches.
