Salsa Verde Chicken - Perfect for Tacos!

My go-to choice for serving this chicken is in tacos. Probably because tacos are one of my favorite foods but I love how it keeps that simplicity of the recipe going.

Just toss everything in the slow cooker then a few hours later shred the chicken and add to heated tortillas along with all of your favorite toppings. Easy breezy (and always cheesy)!

I've tested this chicken with many different brands of salsa over the years (and actually have even done a side by side taste test) and I'd have to say Pace salsa verde works the best here (not sponsored just personal choice here). Maybe that's because it's not so sour and it's not so salty (some brands I can't choke down, they taste like salt mixed with vinegar with hints of tomatillo flavor in the background). This version is actually mostly yellow tomato based with some tomatillos as well and I like that balance here.

Tip: I found it at Kroger and it's available at some Targets as well let me know if you spot is somewhere else. And of course you can purchase it online as well.

Cheers to easy weeknight recipes! Couldn't we all use more crock pot recipes in our busy lives lately?
