Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If your chicken breasts are large, consider cutting them in half for more even cooking.
- Shred the Monterey cheese and set it aside.
- Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot in an even layer.
- Pour the salsa sauce evenly over the chicken.
- Next, add the chicken gravy, making sure all the chicken is covered with the liquids.
- Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be fully cooked and tender by the end of this time.
- After the cooking time is up, check the chicken for doneness. It should be very tender and easy to shred.
- Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot.
- Add the shredded Monterey cheese to the crockpot and stir until the cheese is completely melted and the soup is creamy.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy! This low-carb Mexican chicken soup pairs well with a side of avocado slices or a dollop of sour cream for some added creaminess.
Tips:
- For added flavor, use a salsa sauce that includes your favorite mix of spices and veggies. Feel free to mix things up with different salsa heat levels depending on your preference.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can shred the chicken towards the end of cooking, allowing it to absorb more flavors.
- For a creamier soup, add a dollop of sour cream or a splash of heavy cream just before serving.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, or a squeeze of lime juice for additional layers of flavor.
- If you have leftovers, this soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or can be frozen for future meals.
This low-carb crockpot Mexican chicken soup with Monterey cheese is not only delicious but also simple to make, requiring minimal effort and cleanup. Whether you're managing your carbs or just looking for a hearty, flavorful meal, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.
