We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Place chicken in the bowl of a slow cooker. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder and paprika. You may also season with smoked paprika or chipotle powder if you like a bit more heat.

  • Step 2: Top chicken with the diced green chiles, jalapeno, cumin, onion and garlic. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.

  • Step 3: Add salsa verde and continue cooking another two hours.

  • Step 4: Remove chicken from pot and shred. Mix in enough of the juice leftover in the slow cooker to make the meat moist. *Note - if you want a very juicy chicken mix, just shred right in the crock pot and remove any extra juices until it's the consistency that you like.

  • Step 5: Spoon chicken into tortillas and top with shredded cheese, salsa verde and guacamole.
