Slow Cooker Mango Salsa Chicken with Coconut Rice is one of the tastiest easy dinners out there! This chicken takes minimal prep work yet it’s deliciously flavorful and tender. And everyone will love this coconut rice! It’s one of my go-to side dishes.

Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken

Who says we can’t pretend it’s summer in the dead middle of winter by having a delicious tropical meal?

This is like Baja Mexico/tropical island food and I just can’t get enough of it!

Plus it’s one of the easiest dinners I’ve made!

The slow cooker really does most of the work.

You just start out with 3 large chicken breasts, a bottle of mango peach salsa, and a fair amount of spices and a little garlic for more flavor (and even a 1/2 tsp garlic powder would do).

Then at the end add in some black beans and corn for added nutrition, and you finish it off with a spritz of lime and plenty of cilantro.

Then to complete the meal you serve it with coconut rice (I’m obsessed with that stuff btw) and avocados and fresh mango.

The mango is optional but I highly recommend the coconut rice and the avocado it really just rounds out the flavors.

And after saying all of that I know it seems like a lot of ingredients but it really is so easy to make!

Ingredients for This Recipe

  • Chicken breasts
  • Spices including cumin, chili powder, paprika and coriander

Another Way I Like to Use This Salsa

Another thing I love to do with that same salsa is mix 1 can black beans (drain and rinse), 1 can pinto beans (drain and rinse), and 1 1/4 cups corn thawed or heated if package suggests and toss with one jar of the Mango Peach Salsa. Delicious easy tortilla chip dip!
