SALSA VERDE CHICKEN TOSTADAS (CROCKPOT)
Super easy, healthy and delicious! Cook the chicken with jarred salsa verde and serve over crisp corn tortillas with a crunchy slaw on top! I didn't think I'd like the slaw, I'm not a fan of red cabbage...but it was sooooo good! We had to make more slaw to eat with the leftovers, because it really MADE the dish! A great make ahead meal to reheat and assemble on a busy night! Recipe adapted from skinnytaste.com

Steps:
- COOK CHICKEN: Lay chicken in the bottom of a crock pot and season with garlic powder, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper. Pour salsa verde over top. Cover and cook for 2 hours on high.
- Remove chicken from the sauce and shred with two forks...(I use my kitchenaide with the paddle, it takes about 20 seconds!) FINISH CHICKEN: Stir enough sauce into the shredded chicken to moisten it-you will not need all the liquid. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Proceed to make your tostadas, or place in a leftover container and refrigerate until needed.
- SLAW PREPARATION: Toss shredded red cabbage, lime juice, salt and cilantro in a bowl.
- TO MAKE YOUR OWN TOSTADAS FROM CORN TORTILLAS: spritz tortillas with a misto sprayer, or Pam type oil spray, place on a baking sheet and bake @ 325 for 10-12 minutes, flipping each one over every 5 minutes or so until crisp.
- TOSTADA ASSEMBLY: Sprinkle 1-2 TBSP shredded cheese over tostada shell, place in oven 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted. Spoon approximately 1/4c chicken mixture over the cheese and top with some slaw. Optional: pickled jalapeno slices, avocado/guacamole, sour cream etc.
