Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups salsa verde
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • sour cream see note below

Instructions
 

  • Begin by placing the chicken breasts into the slow cooker, covering them with salsa verde, salt, smoked paprika, and cumin. Stir until the chicken is well-coated with vibrant colors.
  • Seal the Crockpot with its lid and let the ingredients cook together. Opt for 2 ½ to 3 hours on high or 4 to 5 hours on low, ensuring the chicken remains moist throughout.
  • Once cooked, the aroma will beckon you. Carefully remove the chicken to a board and shred it with forks, feeling the tenderness.
  • Return the shredded chicken back into the pot, mixing it with the remaining juices. For added creaminess, consider stirring in some sour cream. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

To elevate the flavors, try stirring in sour cream before serving. This boosts the creaminess, making each bite delightful. Perfect for pairing with rice or tortillas.
