I had to be out for the day and I wanted to make something super easy and fast so dinner would be ready when I got home. Salsa Chicken to the rescue! It cooks up all by itself and is fall of the bone tender. I serve it over rice that I also mixed in some Edamame that I had in the fridge. We loved it!

How To Make salsa chicken

Step 1

Heat some olive oil in a pan. I have a multi-cooker so I just used that. Add the chicken skin side down and brown. Flip and brown the other side and remove.

Step 2

Dump in the onions and saute to soften.
Step 3

Pour in the corn and continue to saute until it browns a little.
Step 4

Pour in half the jar of salsa and place reserved chicken on top.
Step 5

Sprinkle spices over chicken skin and add the bay leaf.
Step 6

Pour remaining salsa around chicken and rinse jar with a bit of water and add it too. (about a half cup)
Step 7

Cook on Low for 5 hours.
Step 8

I served this over rice but you could also use noodles or potatoes!
