Ingredients

  • chicken thighs 2 lb
  • salsa verde 16 oz
  • black beans 1 can
  • tortillas (or rice) 1 pack
  • cheese ~2 cups 8 oz
  • garlic, minced 4 cloves
  • limes 1 unit
  • Greek yogurt + ranch seasoning for dip. 1 unit
  • mild green chilies 2 cans 4 oz
  • cilantro 1 bunch

Steps

  1. Add the salsa verde, mild green chilies, cumin, oregano, onion powder, and garlic to your slow cooker and stir to combine. Add in the chicken breasts and toss/stir to coat. Cook on high for approx. 3 hours or low for 5-6 hours.
  2. Shred the chicken with two forks. Give it a taste then stir in the lime juice as needed (some salsas are more tangy than others so you may not need to add much) and chopped cilantro. Season with salt & pepper as needed.
  3. Serve in tacos or with rice and preferred toppings.
