- Slow Cooker Option: Place all ingredients in slow cooker and set on low for 6-8 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and flavors have melded. You can shred the cooked chicken directly in the slow cooker with tongs or forks.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Once it is no longer pink in the center, it is done. Overcooked chicken can become dry.
- Feel free to adjust the salt and pepper at the end of cooking. This can really help to bring out all the flavors in the dish.
- You may use chicken breasts in lieu of the thighs, but chicken thighs will yield a noticeably more tender dish.
- Salsa Verde Chicken is perfect over fluffy white rice, quickly cooked brown rice, tortillas, or corn chips.
