  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro

  1. Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker.
  2. Pour the salsa verde over the chicken.
  3. Add cumin, garlic powder and salt.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours.
  5. Shred the cooked chicken with two forks.

Notes

Don't automatically add broth. The chicken and salsa release additional moisture during slow cooking.
