We love slow cooker recipes and the easier the better. This is the perfect meal for busy weeknights and sure to please the entire family.

The chicken is so tender from being slow cooked all day. The mango salsa makes this meal really delicious. We keep things simple and serve this over rice and everyone just loves it.

The chicken and mango provide the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. Your family will love it!

Do I have to make Mango Peach Salsa?

To prepare this crock pot recipe, we used the premade mango salsa recipe that you can get at the grocery store.

Mango Peach Salsa is made up of fresh peaches and mangos. Combined with bell peppers, red onion, cilantro, and jalapenos. It is the perfect salsa topped with this crock pot recipe.

It is perfectly sweet and spicy and the lime juice makes it even better. Sometimes I add a little green onion to the top.

Ingredients needed - chicken, seasoning, mango peach salsa, black beans, corn, fresh lime, cilantro, mango rice

Ingredients:

  • Chicken Breasts
  • Seasonings
  • Mango Peach Salsa
  • Black Beans
  • Corn
  • Fresh Lime
  • Cilantro
  • Mango
  • Rice

How to make Slow Cooker Mango Chicken

  • Cook Ingredients – Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on medium high heat for 3-4 hours. Let everything cook until the chicken is falling apart.

  • Shred Chicken – I like to remove the chicken shred it once it is finished cooking. It is so tender you can easily shred it with a fork.
  • Add the fresh cilantro and combine with other ingredients.
  • Serve and Enjoy – Serve with rice and top with fresh mango and salt and pepper.

How long should you cook Chicken in the Slow Cooker?

Cooking chicken in the crock pot will vary. Cooking chicken on low will take about 6 to 8 hours or on hour for about 4 hours. If your chicken is frozen it may take a little longer to cook.

We like to cook our chicken on low so it doesn’t dry out.

Can I Grill the Chicken instead?

Yes, this is the perfect meal to make Grilled Chicken and serve fresh mango on top. As a result, you will have flavor chicken and an amazing meal. Grill the chicken about 4-6 minutes per side so that it is cooked thoroughly.

We like to use a meat thermometer. So that we know that the meat has an internal temperature of 165 degrees. To make sure that the chicken doesn’t stick to the grill, oil the grates with olive oil.

Variation Ideas:

  • Use Peach Salsa – Peach salsa is a great option for this recipe. Peach salsa is made of fresh ingredients including, peaches, tomatoes, bell peppers, cilantro and easy seasoning.
  • Regular Salsa – If you can’t find mango salsa, you can use regular salsa. You can also include ½ mango diced in the crock pot before you cook.
