Crock Pot Salsa Verde Chicken


Ingredients

  • One Crock Pot (slow cooker) or this wouldn't be a crock pot chicken!  
  • 1 small can of green chilies
  • 1 small can Diced Jalapenos
  • 1 large can Salsa Verde (green salsa)
  • 3-4 garlic cloves whole
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • Fresh ground salt and pepper to taste (substitute Mrs. Dash Original Recipe)
  • Ground cumin (start small and taste and add while cooking).

Directions

  1. Slice chicken breasts in half length-wise, so the breasts are thinner.
  2. Rub the chicken breasts with the fresh ground salt and pepper and cumin.
  3. Place the chicken breasts inside the slow-cooker and pour the can of green chilies and jalapeƱos over the chicken breasts.
  4. Pour Salsa Verde to completely cover the chicken breasts.
  5. Toss in the garlic cloves basketball-style from 3 feet away.
  6. Cook for about 6 hours on Low.
  7. The last 15 minutes, shred the chicken breasts with two forks, or three forks if you are really good!
  8. Put chicken back into the crock pot for the 15 minutes on High.
  9. Serve with typical garnish... tortillas, avocado, diced red onions and cilantro, and of course Mexican beer.
