Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken

Sometimes you’re just in a hurry and can’t spend a lot of time making dinner. I made this 2-ingredient slow cooker salsa verde chicken on a night when I was super busy. I threw the chicken and salsa into the slow cooker and walked away. When I came back to it it was super tender and tasty. We served ours in quesadillas and it was perfect. You can even use frozen chicken!

Some ways to serve this chicken:

  • quesadillas
  • burritos
  • tacos
  • in salad
  • over rice
  • over potatoes
  • over noodles
  • in a lettuce wrap
  • by itself
  • Keto diet idea: stir in a tub of full fat sour cream when the chicken is done cooking. It will make a creamy chicken that you can serve over mashed steamed cauliflower or in a lettuce wrap.

What Pressure Cooker Did You Use?

To make Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken I used my 6 quart oval Kitchenaid slow cooker.* I love this slow cooker. It cooks low and evenly. I love the medium heat choice because most slow cookers that I’ve seen only have the option of cooking on low or high. If you’re going to buy just one slow cooker, this is the one that I recommend.

    This is easy yet yummy. You definitely don’t need the water if you’re slow cooking though. We had a lot of extra liquid so we had use a slotted spoon, and it still was a bit wet for soft tacos. We’ll try it later this week with rice!
