Pepita Salsa Slow-Cooker Chicken

Here is my reel for this recipe!

You’re probably thinking, “umm chicken with pepita salsa? what?”, but I promise it is SO good! Trader Joe’s carries pepita salsa which essentially has a pumpkin base. If you don’t want pumpkin flavored you can use any other jar of salsa. However, this doesn’t really take like pumpkin rather just creamy salsa! It tastes very similar to chicken tinga.
