4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken
Ingredients:
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in 2 or 3 pieces
-
1 jar trader joes salsa verde
-
1/2 bottle beer*
-
1.5 teaspoons cumin
-
salt and black pepper
-
(optional: 1 jalapeno, stem removed and diced, leaving the seeds in for extra heat if desired)
Directions:
-
Add chicken to the slow cooker. Top with salsa verde and beer, and sprinkle with cumin and season with a few generous pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper. Use a pair of tons or a spoon to turn the chicken so that both sides are coated. Cover. Cook for 3-4 hours on high heat, or 7-8 hours on low heat.
-
The chicken is ready when easily shreds with a fork. Shred the chicken in the slow cooker, and toss with the juices. Then remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and serve warm. Or, store the shredded chicken in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

*If you want to make this gluten-free, you can either use gluten-free beer. Or replace the beer with chicken broth.
