This recipe offers a flavorful and easy way to prepare shredded chicken using a slow cooker, perfect for tacos, rice bowls, or salads.
Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
Ensure the chicken breasts are evenly spaced for consistent cooking.
Add the salsa verde, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker.
Mix the ingredients gently to coat the chicken evenly.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the chicken is tender.
Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain the temperature.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Shred the chicken while it's warm for easier handling.
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix it with the sauce.
Let the chicken absorb the sauce for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the shredded chicken in tacos, over rice, or as a filling for burritos.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime for added flavor.
