Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups salsa verde
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 0.5 cups sour cream optional

Instructions
 

  • Add the chicken, salsa verde, salt, and cumin to a slow cooker. Mix it all together, then add the lid, and cook it for 2 ½ to 3 hours on high, or 4 to 5 hours on low.
  • Using tongs, remove the chicken to a cutting board and shred with two forks.
  • Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir together. If you'd like a creamier texture, add sour cream and stir together.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

For a creamy salsa verde chicken, add ½ cup of sour cream to the Crockpot at the end and stir together with the shredded chicken.
