This recipe is so easy even a kid can do it!  My son Skyler and I had fun making this video.  Make sure to watch the outtakes at the end.  I know I’m biased but I think he is such a funny, cute kid!


Our whole family loved the tangy, zippy flavor of this chicken.  We shredded ours up at the end and served the chicken and sauce over potatoes.  This chicken has a lot of sauce so rice would be awesome to soak it all up.

Ideal slow cooker:  3 quart
Cooking time: 4-6 hours
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 cup jarred tomatillo salsa
1 (13.75 oz) can cream of chicken soup

the slow cooker (I use frozen).  Top the chicken with the salsa and cream
of chicken soup.
2.  Cover and cook on LOW 4-6 hours

    Is the tomatillo optional? This looks great but my boyfriend and I don’t like salsa..

      You don’t like tomatillo salsa or all salsa? If you like regular salsa you could just use that. If you don’t like salsa at all I suppose you could leave it out all together. But it probably wouldn’t be as flavorful!

    Double recipe for family gathering and added 1/2 brick of low fat cream cheese. Turned out awesome – so delicious and will definitely make again!!! (And very inexpensive as I got all ingredients at Aldi’s).

      YUM I love cream cheese! What a great idea. I don’t have an Aldi here but I wish I did. I hear it’s great. What’s your favorite thing to get there?

    Looks so easy. I am sure this could be paired with some quinoa or rice. Yummy!

    Karen,
    Skyler is adorable! I love how he screwed the lid carefully back on the empty jar, and the look of satisfaction when he got the can open! I'm halfway to this recipe, with several jars of salsa verde in my pantry from last summer's farm share tomatillos, and will share it with my kids. After all, if a 6 yr old can do it, then a 16 yr old should be able to as well!
    Thanks!

      Oh yum! You made your own salsa and canned it? That sounds terrific.
      And yes I agree that he is adorable! Ha ha ๐Ÿ™‚
