CREAMY SALSA VERDE



Creamy Salsa Verde image

One of my new coworkers, Maria, brought me a zip-top bag of washed and prepped ingredients and told me to just throw it all in a blender. In a matter of seconds, this delicious salsa verde was born! The salsa gets its creaminess from the addition of avocado. For a mild salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from all 3 jalapenos; for extra spicy, leave them all in. I prefer to leave the seeds in only 1 jalapeno.

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 chicken breast
1 pot salsa verde
cream cheese package
1tsp garlic powder
1tsp cumin

Steps:

  • Easy Creamy Crockpot Salsa Verde Chicken Author: Lovely Little Kitchen Serves: 6-8 Ingredients: 4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 5-6 large) 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon garlic powder 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed 2 cups salsa verde (I love Trader Joe's) Directions: Add chicken to the crockpot, and then top with seasonings, cubed cream cheese, and salsa. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Shred the chicken with two forks. Use a whisk to mix the remaining sauce in the crockpot. The cream cheese may look a little lumpy, but it will smooth out as you stir. Add the shredded chicken back to the crockpot. Cook on low for another half hour to allow the chicken to absorb the creamy salsa verde sauce. I usually turn my crockpot to the "warm" setting at this point. The sauce will thicken up slightly as it cools.
