Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • Toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Place chicken in a crockpot. Pour salsa verde over the top and sprinkle with cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender and easily shredded.

Notes

  • Use a mix of chicken breasts and thighs for more flavor.
  • Meal prep friendly—store chicken and rice separately and assemble bowls as needed.
  • Make it dairy-free by omitting cheese and sour cream.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat.
