The LA VICTORIA® brand, well known for making salsas, taco sauces, enchilada sauces, and chiles, is celebrating their 100th birthday this year! To help celebrate, I’ve created this slow cooker salsa ranch chicken using some of their Thick’N Chunky Salsa Medium. Salsa is such a versatile ingredient in the kitchen and can be used for sides, appetizers, and even main dishes.
They’re also celebrating their 100th birthday in four major cities: San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Portland. In Los Angeles, it’ll be held at the Santa Monica Pier and Carousel on Thursday, June 1. 100 fans and VIPs will be able to experience “a cultural celebration featuring art, music and dishes made with LA VICTORIA® products.” Also at that dinner, “five finalists will showcase an original piece of visual art that showcases “Modern, West Coast Lifestyle” while giving a nod to the LA VICTORIA® brand, for a chance to win a $7,500 grand prize, while the second- and third-place winners will take home $1,500 and $1,000.”
I’m always down for a delicious dinner by the water, aren’t you? Until then, I’ll be using my collection to top off the majority of my meals. I’m a hot sauce fiend, so it goes on almost everything I eat.
This crockpot dish is as simple as can be. I was able to make it while my toddler played with some pots for a while. She didn’t mind one bit since I was done so quickly.
I must say, you need to serve this ASAP when it’s done, otherwise it dries out from sitting in the crockpot on warm. It’s also best eaten the day of. If you want a saucier dish, add another half can of cream of chicken soup or use less pasta. One box of pasta made a lot of servings!
You can also add a dash of LA VICTORIA® SALSA BRAVA® Hot Sauce if you want a little kick. Since I fed the recipe to my toddler, I didn’t add any in. My little girl ate up the entire dish! Recipe adapted from The Country Cook.
