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.
EASY CREAMY SALSA CHICKEN
This is a quick weeknight recipe with only a few ingredients but lots of possibilities. Goes together quickly, then in the oven while you prepare sides and garnish. We poured the salsa chicken over jasmine rice in homemade baked tortilla bowls, garnished with shredded cheddar cheese. Yummy! Can be served with Spanish rice, garnished with cheese, black olives and green onions! Endless!
