Ingredients
4
boneless skinless chicken breasts
1
jar
salsa verde
16 oz.
2
teaspoons
ground cumin

lime
juiced (optional)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
Pour the salsa over the top. Sprinkle with cumin and lime juice, if desired.
With tongs, turn the chicken to coat with the salsa.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken can easily be shredded.
Serve over rice or use chicken in your favorite taco or burrito recipe.
Notes
I love to serve this over rice but you can serve it shredded in burritos, tacos, or soup!
