Hi friends! I am not going to lie, re-entry from this past weekends conference is going to be rough. That is why we all need really easy, quick recipes to fall on. These are the types of days where my crockpot really gets a workout. I threw this together last week on Insta-stories and honestly I had no idea whether it was going to turn out or not. I basically just threw a bunch of ingredients that I had on hand in my fridge, said a little prayer over my crockpot, and voila, 8 hours later I had this delicious Spicy Salsa Verde Chicken. You can serve this over brown rice or quinoa and it makes a really delicious sauce.

I can’t wait to make this – all the flavors we love! MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOUR RECIPE – SHORT AND SWEET AND TO THE POINT! I love that you don’t have a huge amount of commentary before we get to the actual recipe. Thanks for sharing. I am a new follower on Instagram and really enjoying what you bring to the table.
Thank you! I’ll like it short + sweet too!
Do you shred the chicken and serve it over the rice with the juices and do you crush the tomatillos?
