Crock Pot Salsa Chicken

This is probably my favorite crock pot recipe because it has great flavor and can be served in so many different ways.  Therefore, I enjoy making a large portion and serving it as leftovers for several nights because each night I serve it up differently.  Feel free to make changes to any of the ingredients to suit your personal preference.  You really can't go wrong with this recipe!
