Salsa Chicken

2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast

2 T. taco seasoning

1 small can diced tomatoes (I used Rotel)

1 chopped onion

1/2 c. finely diced celery

1/2 c. shredded carrot

1 c. salsa (I used Rotel)

[When I made this it wasn't salty or spicy enough for me, so I would add:

2 chicken boullion cubes

1 T. chopped garlic

1 T. cumin]

Place all in crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve with corn tortillas, cheese, sour cream, etc. Black beans would be good too. I fried the tortillas in oil and folded them over like taco shells. The meat mixture is a little wet, just drain it!
