Slow cooker salsa verde chicken

Everyone needs a good collection of tried and true easy slow cooker recipes.  They are excellent for busy weeknights and also for meal prep.  This slow cooker salsa verde chicken is one of my favorites.  I hate slow cooker recipes that I have to prep ten million things before I walk away and this one is so simple it only takes a couple of minutes to assemble.  Dump, dump, dump, set it and forget it.  

Not only is it easy, it is very flavorful and versatile.  You can use the chicken in a variety of ways.

• Serve it over rice and beans for burrito bowls.
• Serve in taco shells for tacos.
• Serve on a salad or in lettuce cups for a low carb version.  
• Use the meat in a quesadilla.
• Use the meat in enchiladas.  
• Use the meat as a nacho topper.  

Try it out and then add this to your regular meal rotation.  I think it will win you over with its ease of preparation and big flavors.  

Because, I know someone might ask.  Yes, this can be made in the Instant Pot as well.  Dump everything in the Instant Pot and cook on manual for 20-25 minutes. Shred after you release pressure.
