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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

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

Did you use the beer, or did you substitute it for chicken broth?
