For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a chopped onion to the skillet along with the chicken, browning it until softened before transferring to the slow cooker. If you prefer a milder heat, use a mild or medium salsa instead of hot salsa. Feel free to adjust the amount of cumin and allspice to suit your personal taste preferences. This dish is even more flavorful the next day, making it perfect for meal prepping.
