I realize that this is an old thread but since it's been revived anyway...
I did this a couple of weeks ago and the results were fabulous:
I put 4 large skinless chicken breasts in the crockpot.
I dumped two jars of salsa on top.
I let it do its stuff for about 5 or 6 hours. I think it was on high, but it may very well have been on low. Yeah, I think it was on low.
It was delicious!
You could either shred the chicken -- it was that tender -- or serve it as breasts over rice.
That does sound delicious. I just happened to read the thread yesterday and I didn't realize how old it was.
I disagree that you shouldn't cook skinless, boneless chicken breasts in the crock pot. I have done it many times with much success. It just falls appart and is moist and tender. If not, you may be buying tough, older chicken which some groceries try to pass off.
I have done bonless skinnless chicken breast in the crockpot and it was dry as a bone. I have also done boneless skinlees thighs and they come out juicy and tender. I don't like the Idea of cooking chicken breast for a long time. I hate dry chicken

True. I buy two different kinds of skinless breast -- one kind is very flat (I use that when I make chicken marsala) and the other kind is "natural" (rounded).
When I made chicken breasts and salsa in the crockpot, I used the plumper ones, not the flattened ones.
Even after 6 hours, they were so moist, I could shred them with a fork.

Maybe not enough moisture going on? Seriously, the ones that I made drowned in salsa were moist as moist can be. (And I hate the word "moist." LOL!)

I totally agree and the texure of it is weird. This is the same with boiling a whole chicken. The dark meat is great, the white meat gets crewy. How many of you remember when we used to actually buy stewing chickens. They were the older guys. Anyone who thinks, old chicken in the crock pot is why ours is tough doesn't remember the days of stewing chickens.
