SLOW COOKER SALSA VERDE CHICKEN



Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken image

This spicy, saucy chicken takes almost no time to prep in the morning and only 5 minutes to finish before eating. At its simplest, the recipe is a meal-in-a-bowl stew, and the toppings are key to making it feel special. You could serve the chicken over rice or a whole grain, or use it as a taco or enchilada filling (use a slotted spoon to serve the chicken, if it is very saucy). You can also add 1 cup of frozen or fresh corn, or a drained 15-ounce can of black beans or pinto beans; just add them at the end along with the fresh cilantro and scallions. The level of heat in jarred salsas can vary, so taste yours first to ensure it is to your liking. If you want more spice, leave some of the jalapeño seeds in, or use hot canned green chiles instead of mild ones.

Time 5h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 1/2 cups jarred salsa verde
1 (4-ounce) can chopped mild green chiles
8 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 scallions (green and white parts), thinly sliced
1 small bunch cilantro, leaves and tender stems finely chopped (about 1 heaping cup)
Kosher salt, to taste
Fresh lime juice, to taste
Any combination of rice, tortillas, pepitas, queso fresco, diced avocado and crushed tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the chicken thighs, salsa verde, green chiles, chopped garlic, jalapeño, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Stir to evenly combine. (Don't add salt now; jarred salsas are often high in sodium.) Cook on low until the chicken is tender and the flavors are blended, 5 to 6 hours. (If you will be away for 8 hours or more, set the cook time for 4 hours on low and set the slow cooker auto-switch to warm for the remaining time.)
  • Use two forks to coarsely shred the chicken. With the heat on low, add the scallions and cilantro, and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and lime juice. Serve with rice or in tortillas, if desired, with accompaniments.

Time 3h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (1.25 ounce) package white chili seasoning
2 (15 ounce) cans reduced-sodium white beans, divided
½ (32 ounce) carton chicken broth
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa verde
1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 medium onion, diced
1 ½ cups chopped celery
1 (4 ounce) can fire-roasted diced jalapenos, drained
1 (4 ounce) can fire-roasted diced green chiles, drained
½ teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Place chicken at the bottom of a slow cooker and sprinkle chili seasoning over top. Add 1 can of white beans, chicken broth, salsa verde, corn, onion, celery, jalapenos, green chiles, and garlic. Cook on High until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 3 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken from the slow cooker, shred meat with 2 forks, and return to the pot.
  • Puree remaining can of white beans in a blender or electric chopper; add to the chili. Stir and cook on High for 30 more minutes. Top with cilantro and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salsa verde: Use a high-quality salsa verde that is flavorful and has a good balance of acidity and heat. You can make your own salsa verde or use a store-bought brand that you trust.
  • Season the chicken well: Don't be afraid to season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken and make it more flavorful.
  • Cook the chicken on low heat: Cooking the chicken on low heat will help to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and chewy. Cook the chicken just until it is cooked through, about 6-8 hours on low.
  • Shred the chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, shred it with two forks. This will make it easier to serve and eat.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite toppings: You can serve the chicken with a variety of toppings, such as rice, beans, tortillas, or salad.
