  Salsa Chicken is easy to make; just put all the ingredients in a slow 
  cooker and let the machine do the work. There are infinite variations, 
  and your family is guaranteed to like each one.
  
  Place the chicken in a slow cooker. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over 
  the meat then layer the vegetables and salsa on top. Pour a half cup 
  water over the mixture, set on low and cook for 6-8 hours. The meat 
  is cooked when it shreds or reaches an internal temperature of 
  165 degrees F. When ready to serve, break up the chicken with two 
  forks then stir in the sour cream.
