Just because it’s busy back to school time, doesn’t mean we can’t have delicious home cooked meals during the week!
This recipe literally takes 3 minutes to prep, and you’re DONE. Throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning, and come home to a hot meal that night. Click here to see my favorite slow cooker!
I love to use the Trader Joe’s salsa verde, but really you can use any salsa you like. Throw this into tacos, on top of rice, a salad, or alone with a side of veg!
Your weeknight meals just got a facelift.
Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken
2016-09-08 22:32:20
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 jar salsa verde (I use the one from Trader Joe's)
Instructions
- 1) Add the chicken to the slow cooker in one single layer. Sprinkle the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin evenly over the chicken. Pour the jar of salsa on top of the chicken, making sure it's all covered. Cook on low for 4-5 hours.
- 2) With 30-60 minutes left of cooking time, remove the lid and using two forks, shred the chicken. It will seem like there's a lot of liquid, but once all the chicken is shredded it will absorb most of the liquid. Continue to cook and keep warm until ready to serve. Add to tacos, salads, or serve on top of rice!
