CROCKPOT SALSA VERDE CHICKEN | Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Recipe

- This Crockpot chicken with a Mexican-infused salsa verde spin is guaranteed to be a family favorite. The shredded chicken is juicy, tender, and brimming with spicy, and tangy flavors. Just toss everything into a slow cooker or Crockpot, and in about 3 hours, the most delicious chicken is ready to be plated with sides, stuffed into tacos, and more!
When I’m not making carnitas or barbacoa, this salsa verde Crockpot chicken recipe is always on the dinner menu. It’s a set-it-and-forget-it meal that cooks with ease in a Crockpot, creating the most tender pieces of shredded chicken. Thank goodness for slow cooker recipes!
But the secret to the phenomenal flavor in this recipe lies in my homemade salsa verde. Unlike the store-bought jarred versions, my recipe is authentic (with no added fillers), and just five simple ingredients. A simple blend of tomatillos, jalapeño peppers, and garlic are roasted in the oven, imparting a beautifully smokey flavor, then blended with onion and cilantro for the tastiest green salsa ever.

Chicken Burritos
I'm a spice type of girl, so I probably would add some more kinds of them, and probably even include Sriracha if I have it.
I'm definitely going to try the homemade salsa Verde. Looks very easy and incredibly flavorful. 😊
Oh and yes, chicken nachos 🤤
Refried beans.
As a Mexican, we've ALWAYS rinsed the tomatillos after removing the husks. They tend to be quite sticky and so they naturally have dirt stuck to them. Also, they'd taste better if you had a comal (griddle) and charred all the veggies, turning with tongs. 😉 We use a cast iron griddle. If you feel chile peppers are too spicy to eat, you can lessen the heat by removing the seeds and veins. Don't touch face after doing this! You can use kitchen gloves for this and it's easy if you use a spoon to remove the seeds and veins.
Lol
Great advice!
I’m pretty sure she rinsed everything prior to making the video. To each their own. I normally rinse them after removing the husk but my mom soaks them for 15 mins so it doesn’t make a difference as long as the ingredient are clean.
I love crockpot recipes❣️ Please do more 🙏
Duly noted! :)
I love green salsa chicken. I make taquitos, I also put it on top of rice but I add black beans to it. You can also put it on tostadas with refried beans. Enchiladas or chilaquiles with an egg and queso fresco for breakfast. Love your videos!
So much to be done with salsa verde!!
Great ideas..
Wow! So many great suggestions!! Thank you!!
My mom taught me that the smaller the tomatillo that the more flavorful they will be !!
Good to know! Thanks for the tip :)
Can’t wait to try this!!we love crockpot healthy yummy dishes.definitely making this.Thank you Lisa.
Looks delicious! Great for meal prep.
Absolutely! The beauty of slow cooker recipes.
I can’t believe how easy it was to make the fresh salsa verde. Just put the chicken in the slow cooker and I can’t wait for dinner this evening!

Now I have a fresh idea how to use the homemade salsa verde in my freezer 🙂
Tacos look great! Will add some black beans as well.
This looks super yummy! Unfortunately, I've never seen Tomatillos or Salsa Verde anywhere, so I guess I'll just have to stare at the video drooling 😂
Oh my, i.I'm gonna make these tonight. I just made homemade salsa last night. ❤🎉. Perfect timing😊
Perfect! Hope you enjoy this recipe.

Salsa verde pork is one of my favorites heart❤
Love your videos! I've never made salsa this way, will definitely give this one a try!
Thanks so much for your feedback!
Happy New Year Lisa ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I will try the salsa verde chicken tacos.
Happy New Years to you as well!
I am looking forward to making this recipe!
Hope you love it!
I made this with the homemade Salsa Verde and it was very good. I added a bit more lime and some Dan-Os Original seasoning but it absolutely could be enjoyed per the standard recipe. Ill certainly make it again and look forward to trying more of your recipes.
Great sauce!
Yes ma’am, Serranos all the way. I always buy my serranos “painted” or with an orange or yellow tinge for more heat. Lightweights avoid any “painted” pepper 🥵. I’m trying this method of cooking my tomatillos, I usually just boil them. I’m having guests this week and this was so helpful in planning our meals. I’m going with tostadas 😋. Thanks for the inspiration. 😊
Looks so good!
You're going to love this one!!
Love the 🫛 soup recipe
....When you add Refried Beans to Salsa Verde ... you have an amazing Dip for Homemade Tortilla Chips, or as a way to add flavour to other foods, such as Tacos, Chalupas, etc.
Looks delicious - going to make it for dinner tonight!
Oh yay! Can't wait for you to try this one 😉
Omgosh! I loooove this! Yummy 😋🤤
This has so much flavor! Can't wait for you to try.
Delicious!
I will cook that today for sure 😊😊😊 salsa verde is my best condiment 😊😊😊 they way you plate it at the end both ways look really yummy 😋 😋😋 thank you for the recipe keep them coming and happy new year!
Hope you enjoy this recipe!!
@@Downshiftology I know I will for sure all your ingredients are great and healthy!!! Do you have a recipe for your tortillas? I would love to try them 😋
This looks amazing!! Will make. Making your barbacoa recipe today. Fingers crossed!!
Hope it turns out great!!
Yummy! Can’t wait to make this ❤
Hope you enjoy!
I cooked this yesterday with the store-bought salsa from Trader Joe's. It came out great.
Which brand did you use from Trader Joe's? Is there only one brand? What is it called?
Making this today!
Can't wait to see how you like this recipe!!
Great Recipe to eat in different ways 👍 with Tacos or Rice or even Pasta 🤗 even tho you can ad Stuff to it or change some ingredients
So many ways to enjoy this salsa verde chicken!
I can’t wait to make this! This is what I always comment on your vids 😂❤
Thanks for all your support! Hope you enjoy :)
This is delicious. We’re having it for dinner on Taco Tuesday. Thank you!!
Hope you loved this recipe!
This recipe looks really good and so flexible
I would maybe add cream cheese and make a dip as an appetizer
So many options ♥️
It truly is versatile, enjoy!
Yum!!!
My friend brought over GF bow tie Alfredo chicken verde one night so good!
Delicioso 😋 bendiciones
Absolutely DELICIOUS!!
Glad you enjoyed this recipe!!
Yummy 😋
Happy new year
Happy new year to you as well!
Would the Vitamix work vs the food processor? Can we freeze it, if we've added the sour cream? The sour cream looks like a must add! Delicious!
I know what tomorrow nights dinner is going to be 😊
Woo! Can't wait for you to try this one.
I would put this on rice, use in a burrito, or even mashed potatoes
I made this yesterday and it was awesome! Do you also have a recipe for crockpot chicken with a red sauce for tacos and burrito's?
I don't have a red sauce version yet, but may make one in the future!
You can also eat the green chili, chicken and tostadas with some lettuce and some chopped relish. That taste delicious and fresh.
Must make this week, I would put it in some Pasta 🐚 topped with 3 😂🧀
Sounds delicious! Can't wait to see how that turns out.
Would love to try home made version, but tomatillos just do not exist in shops where I live. Canned sometimes are available, but never tried it, so if I am in mood for salsa verdee, I buy it online and even that is hard to get hands on 😞 But this looks like something I may make for my hiking trips!
Thanks.
Any sugestions onhow to cook the checken without a slow cooker?
Thank you so much for this recipe. I will definitely make your salsa Verde. I am tired of buying and eating processed foods. I would appreciate it so much, if you would make more slow cooker recipes, so many UA-cam recipes use those glutinous soups, condensed, yuck. Thank you very much.
Can you please show us how to make soups for winter?
Of course! I also have tons more ideas here: downshiftology.com/courses/soups-stews/
You can make a burrito with rice and beans with the meat you can also serve it with mexican rice instead of white rice with whatever beans you like or a salad on the side .
There are so many meals to be made with this chicken!
Looks great! Can I start from frozen chicken instead?
You can use frozen chicken breasts, just make sure to thaw them first!
I saw the video on how to cut Zucchini noodles. Did you have one on how to cook them?
❤❤❤
I have never seen tomatillos in London, what shall I use?
Hi made is best but Herdez salsa verde is good!!!!
Do you have a Ninja Foodi pressure-cook version of this recipe? Anyone? I have several slowcookers - but I'm trying to do more versatile recipes since I got a multi-cooker last Christmas.
I have never seen Tometinos (if that is how you spell it :) ) in the UK , can you use anything else ??
Unfortunately, tomatillos are the main ingredient for salsa verde. But, you could try this recipe with my blended red salsa here: downshiftology.com/recipes/best-salsa-recipe/
Looks good. Will you cook for me sometime? 😂
Stuff some of that chicken in a red bell pepper, top with cheese and bake!
Love your recipes, shame I'm nightshade free 😔
If you are reading this there’s a reason……No matter how good or bad you have it,wake up day thankful for your life.Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs ❤️🇧🇸
Will this recipe work with an instant pot?
Anything i can use instead of tomatillos?😅 i can't get them anywhere
Just buy the store version of salsa verde. It works.
@@rachelparmater892 don't have that either. It's not a common thing in Europe
Can you make this recipe on a regular pot ?
Do you have a taco seasoning for chicken?
Here you go! downshiftology.com/recipes/taco-seasoning/
Is there a substitute for tomatillas? We don't have them in my country.
Hi there, the tomatillos are the main ingredient for salsa verde. But, you could make a red sauce instead and use this recipe: downshiftology.com/recipes/best-salsa-recipe/
If you have a hand mixer, could you just shred the chicken in the crockpot?
Lisa, this is off topic, but could you show us some good dishes for Superbowl weekend, which is not until February 11th or 12th, I think.
Hi Helen! I've got some delicious ideas here: downshiftology.com/healthy-super-bowl-recipes/
Do you add sour cream to the mixture for tacos only?
You just answered my question in the video 😂
Haha! The sour cream version is SO good by the way 😉
Guys? Girl here😊
🙂🙂👍Incredible Job! 🙂 Stay blessed! 👍 Keep it up! 🙂 God bless you abundantly forever 🙂 Enjoy amazingly blessed life 🙂 Stay happy and well protected. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024! 🙂💐🥧🍬🍩🍪🎂🎂☃🎁🎉🎍👍👀🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
You’re supposed to wash the sticky substance off the tomatillos after you remove the husk. 😅
cassava flour tortillas?
Here's my recipe for the tortillas: downshiftology.com/recipes/cassava-flour-tortillas/
I'm really sad that I can't have this because I'm allergic to cilantro 😢😢😢
Sadly, I can’t have nightshades at all anymore.
Mexican crema is better than sour cream!!!
You can use that as well!
did you know there are people who have DNA that makes cilantro taste soapy? So glad I'm not one of 'em!
Yes! It's so unfortunate.
This sauce is not good for me. Too much inflammatory /nightshade ingredients.
