Ingredients
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 jar (16 oz) salsa verde
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
• Step 1: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a large crockpot or slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper.
• Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the salsa verde, chicken broth, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Pour the mixture over the chicken.
• Step 3: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork.
• Step 4: Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it right in the crockpot. Stir the shredded chicken to combine it with the salsa verde sauce.
• Step 5: Serve the Crockpot Salsa Verde Chicken warm, with your choice of toppings and side dishes.
