I swear I can never have enough slow cooker recipes for any type of Mexican dish.  My family loves them and there are so many different flavor combinations.  This Slow Cooker Tacos Verde is made with chicken thigh and salsa verde!  You can always substitute chicken breasts if you prefer.

This meat was flavorful and moist.  The other great thing with this recipe is you can use the meat in any Mexican dish you like – enchiladas, burritos, tostadas, nachos, etc.  I used the leftovers in a quesadilla which was equally delish.

[…] Salsa Verde Chicken. This chicken is incredibly versatile. Typically we eat it on it’s own, topped with avocado. For my sister, we included some shelf and fridge stable taco fixings – shells, a jar of salsa, and cheese. I know that she has a crockpot, so I provided this uncooked in a freezer bag. She can throw it in the freezer, then thaw overnight and toss it in the crockpot on a day when she’s ready to make it. If you are providing this to eat the same day, I would cook it for them and maybe provide a few other fresh taco fixings, like mango salsa, chopped tomatoes, and/or lettuce. […]

I am going to make this today. I don’t have chicken thighs, I have chicken breast, but I am sure it will work.
