3-4 boneless, organic chicken breasts
1 (16 oz) jar organic, all-natural salsa verde
2 (4 oz) cans organic green chilies
½ yellow onion; finely chopped
2 Tbsp. minced garlic
½ cup low sodium vegetable broth
½ a jalapeño; seeded and finely chopped
¼ cup fresh cilantro; chopped
Ground cumin
Himalayan pink salt
Oregano
Garlic powder

Instructions
  1. Place green chilies, garlic, onion, jalapeño and cilantro in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Season your chicken breasts (thawed if using frozen) on both sides with some cumin, oregano, garlic powder and Himalayan pink salt, and place on top of your chili/onion mixture.
  3. Pour in vegetable broth around the sides of the chicken breasts and finish off by topping chicken with the entire jar of salsa verde.
  4. Cover slow cooker with lid and cook on HIGH for about 3hours, or until chicken is easily shredded apart with a fork.
  5. Remove finished chicken from the crock pot, and place it into a large bowl. Scoop out ⅔ cup of the liquid and discard.
  6. Shred chicken with 2 forks.
  7. Once chicken is shredded, place chicken back into the crock pot with remaining salsa, and adjust seasonings to taste if needed.
