Food Safety
Before you start, wash all surfaces and your hands with soap and warm water, and remember to wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards after they touch raw meat or eggs. Avoid cross-contamination by using a different cutting board for your meat and other ingredients. Make sure you’re cooking to safe temperatures and chilling any leftovers within two hours.

Steps
Trim away excess fat from chicken.
Turn condensed soup into the bowl of a slow cooker and turn cooker to high. Add salsa and spices. Let it heat while you chop the onion and pepper. Before adding vegetables, stir salsa mixture to evenly blend. Then stir in vegetables until coated.
Add chicken pieces, bone side up. Push to the bottom of the pot, submerging as much as possible. Then spoon some of the mixture over the chicken. Cover and cook on high 4 hours or on low for 6 hours. Excellent over rice or pasta. Consider adding peas or black beans to the rice, sprinkling with chopped coriander and slices of avocado. Any leftover sauce works well on pasta with a little cheese added.
