Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken
Low calorie, simple and easy crockpot chicken
Equipment
- Crock Pot or Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 3-4 chicken breast frozen or fresh
- 12 oz salsa verde
- 2 tsp cumin optional
- 1 tsp chili powder optional
Instructions
- Place chicken breast in the slow cooker.
- Evenly cover the chicken with the salsa verde and spices–if using spices for an extra kick of flavor, you can also just use the salsa.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, until chicken is fully cooked. Cook time may vary depending on your slow cooker.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the crock pot and place on a cutting board. Leave the salsa in the slow cooker. Using two forks, shred the chicken. Discard any fat in the process.
- Place the shredded chicken back in the slow cooker with the salsa and mix to combine.
- Place slow cooker on warm until ready to serve.
- ENJOY!
Notes
*This chicken can be used for tacos, on top of a salad, for enchiladas, burrito bowls, and it makes great leftovers!
*I use frozen chicken and the salsa verde from Trader Joe’s. I always keep these things on hand so I can cook this chicken when on whim if I need to. You can definitely use fresh chicken- I would trim it before placing it in the crockpot.
*All nutrition values are estimated and could vary depending on preparation.
