Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • Tortillas for serving
  • Toppings: avocado, cilantro, lime, cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot and arrange them evenly.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the salsa verde, taco seasoning, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Stir well to blend the flavors.
  3. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the crockpot.
Cooking
  1. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for about 3-4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and easily shreddable.
Serving
  1. Once cooked, shred the chicken in the crockpot using two forks, mixing it with the sauce.
  2. Serve warm in tortillas with your preferred toppings such as avocado, cilantro, lime, and cheese.

Notes

You can substitute with a different type of salsa or homemade chicken broth. Cooking on low yields juicier chicken. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze for 3 months. Thaw overnight and reheat gently.
