I swear I can never have enough slow cooker recipes for any type of Mexican dish. Â My family loves them and there are so many different flavor combinations. Â This Slow Cooker Tacos Verde is made with chicken thigh and salsa verde! Â You can always substitute chicken breasts if you prefer.
This meat was flavorful and moist. Â The other great thing with this recipe is you can use the meat in any Mexican dish you like – enchiladas, burritos, tostadas, nachos, etc. Â 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.
I loved this! My whole family did! I made extra hoping for leftovers, but it was such a hit that there were no leftovers.
Love it! Tacos of any kind are great and these look so easy as well as delicious
These look wonderful – I love diced green chiles!
