Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 (16 oz) jar salsa verde
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and cumin. Place in a slow cooker in a single layer. Pour salsa verde on top and scatter garlic around.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until chicken reaches 165°F and shreds easily.
  3. Shred chicken with two forks right in the slow cooker. Stir in lime juice, adjust salt, and serve over tortillas or rice.

Notes

The sauce can be thin right after cooking. If you prefer it thicker, remove the chicken and simmer the liquid on the stovetop for a few minutes before adding it back.
