Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 cup salsa verde no added sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro optional

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken in the slow cooker.
  2. Add the salsa verde, ground cumin, garlic powder, and salt.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and shreds easily.
  4. Shred the chicken using two forks and stir it back into the salsa verde sauce.
  5. Add the lime juice and chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes

Choose salsa verde with no added sugar. This chicken works especially well for keto meal prep, lettuce wraps, salads, and cauliflower-rice bowls.
