- This Crockpot chicken with a Mexican-infused salsa verde spin is guaranteed to be a family favorite. The shredded chicken is juicy, tender, and brimming with spicy, and tangy flavors. Just toss everything into a slow cooker or Crockpot, and in about 3 hours, the most delicious chicken is ready to be plated with sides, stuffed into tacos, and more!
When I’m not making carnitas or barbacoa, this salsa verde Crockpot chicken recipe is always on the dinner menu. It’s a set-it-and-forget-it meal that cooks with ease in a Crockpot, creating the most tender pieces of shredded chicken. Thank goodness for slow cooker recipes!
But the secret to the phenomenal flavor in this recipe lies in my homemade salsa verde. Unlike the store-bought jarred versions, my recipe is authentic (with no added fillers), and just five simple ingredients. A simple blend of tomatillos, jalapeño peppers, and garlic are roasted in the oven, imparting a beautifully smokey flavor, then blended with onion and cilantro for the tastiest green salsa ever.

Chicken Burritos
I'm a spice type of girl, so I probably would add some more kinds of them, and probably even include Sriracha if I have it.
I'm definitely going to try the homemade salsa Verde. Looks very easy and incredibly flavorful. 😊
Oh and yes, chicken nachos 🤤
Refried beans.
As a Mexican, we've ALWAYS rinsed the tomatillos after removing the husks. They tend to be quite sticky and so they naturally have dirt stuck to them. Also, they'd taste better if you had a comal (griddle) and charred all the veggies, turning with tongs. 😉 We use a cast iron griddle. If you feel chile peppers are too spicy to eat, you can lessen the heat by removing the seeds and veins. Don't touch face after doing this! You can use kitchen gloves for this and it's easy if you use a spoon to remove the seeds and veins.
Lol
Great advice!
I’m pretty sure she rinsed everything prior to making the video. To each their own. I normally rinse them after removing the husk but my mom soaks them for 15 mins so it doesn’t make a difference as long as the ingredient are clean.
I love crockpot recipes❣️ Please do more 🙏
Duly noted! :)
I made this recipe and it was delicious. I made verde sauce from scratch. The first night we had it with refried beans and tortillas. the second night over jasmine rice topped with chopped white onion and cilantro. I still have enough for 2 more meals for 2 people. YUM!
I love green salsa chicken. I make taquitos, I also put it on top of rice but I add black beans to it. You can also put it on tostadas with refried beans. Enchiladas or chilaquiles with an egg and queso fresco for breakfast. Love your videos!
So much to be done with salsa verde!!
Great ideas..
Wow! So many great suggestions!! Thank you!!
My mom taught me that the smaller the tomatillo that the more flavorful they will be !!
Good to know! Thanks for the tip :)
Lisa thank you so much for this recipe!! I'm not a fan of salsa verde. I decided to swap out the tomatillos for 5 pablano peppers. To caramelize the onion, I cut the ends off of it and placed it in the oven with the pablanos, garlic, and serrano pepper. After the onion had cooled, I then cut it into smaller pieces before placing into the blender. I had thick large pieces of chicken so I cooked my chicken for four hours on high in the slow cooker. For the last hour, I added a cup of sour cream. This shreedeed chicken recipe came out so delicious! It will be a staple for me.
I'm excited to try chipotle chilies with your base recipe next!! So all the same ingredients, except I'll do the chipotle chilies. Keep these great slow cooker and oven baked recipes coming. Thank you for the inspiration as well!

Absolutely! The beauty of slow cooker recipes.
I can’t believe how easy it was to make the fresh salsa verde. Just put the chicken in the slow cooker and I can’t wait for dinner this evening!
This looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it.

Love your videos! I've never made salsa this way, will definitely give this one a try!
Thanks so much for your feedback!
Oh my goodness, this is absolutely going into my camp cookbook!
Perfect!! Enjoy 😊
Yes ma’am, Serranos all the way. I always buy my serranos “painted” or with an orange or yellow tinge for more heat. Lightweights avoid any “painted” pepper 🥵. I’m trying this method of cooking my tomatillos, I usually just boil them. I’m having guests this week and this was so helpful in planning our meals. I’m going with tostadas 😋. Thanks for the inspiration. 😊
Salsa verde pork is one of my favorites heart❤
Watching this as a nursing student tysm!! Hope to try this soon. ❤
Hope you like it!
Gonna make this on Saturday!! 😋😄
Looks amazing! I’d serve it over a bed of cilantro lime rice!
I made this with the homemade Salsa Verde and it was very good. I added a bit more lime and some Dan-Os Original seasoning but it absolutely could be enjoyed per the standard recipe. Ill certainly make it again and look forward to trying more of your recipes.
Oh my, i.I'm gonna make these tonight. I just made homemade salsa last night. ❤🎉. Perfect timing😊
Perfect! Hope you enjoy this recipe.
This is an excellent recipe. Thank you.
Glad you like it!
I am looking forward to making this recipe!
Hope you love it!
Mmmmm! I’m going to use your homemade salsa 💃🏻 and mimic PF Chang’s lettuce tacos 🌮 with sautéed onions &🫑 peppers 🌶️
Thank you and Happy New Year
Sounds delicious! Enjoy and Happy New Year 😊
Love the 🫛 soup recipe
This looks super yummy! Unfortunately, I've never seen Tomatillos or Salsa Verde anywhere, so I guess I'll just have to stare at the video drooling 😂
Great sauce!
Happy New Year Lisa ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I will try the salsa verde chicken tacos.
Happy New Years to you as well!
Looks delicious - going to make it for dinner tonight!
Oh yay! Can't wait for you to try this one 😉
....When you add Refried Beans to Salsa Verde ... you have an amazing Dip for Homemade Tortilla Chips, or as a way to add flavour to other foods, such as Tacos, Chalupas, etc.
Omgosh! I loooove this! Yummy 😋🤤
This has so much flavor! Can't wait for you to try.
Looks so good!
You're going to love this one!!

Hope you enjoy this recipe!!
@@Downshiftology I know I will for sure all your ingredients are great and healthy!!! Do you have a recipe for your tortillas? I would love to try them 😋
I cooked this yesterday with the store-bought salsa from Trader Joe's. It came out great.
Which brand did you use from Trader Joe's? Is there only one brand? What is it called?
My friend brought over GF bow tie Alfredo chicken verde one night so good!
I would put this on rice, use in a burrito, or even mashed potatoes
Making this today!
Can't wait to see how you like this recipe!!
Yummy! Can’t wait to make this ❤
Hope you enjoy!
This is delicious. We’re having it for dinner on Taco Tuesday. Thank you!!
Hope you loved this recipe!
Yum!!!
Great Recipe to eat in different ways 👍 with Tacos or Rice or even Pasta 🤗 even tho you can ad Stuff to it or change some ingredients
So many ways to enjoy this salsa verde chicken!
This recipe looks really good and so flexible
I would maybe add cream cheese and make a dip as an appetizer
So many options ♥️
It truly is versatile, enjoy!
Delicioso 😋 bendiciones
Yummy 😋
Absolutely DELICIOUS!!
Glad you enjoyed this recipe!!
You can also eat the green chili, chicken and tostadas with some lettuce and some chopped relish. That taste delicious and fresh.
I know what tomorrow nights dinner is going to be 😊
Woo! Can't wait for you to try this one.
Thank you so much for this recipe. I will definitely make your salsa Verde. I am tired of buying and eating processed foods. I would appreciate it so much, if you would make more slow cooker recipes, so many CZcams recipes use those glutinous soups, condensed, yuck. Thank you very much.
Would the Vitamix work vs the food processor? Can we freeze it, if we've added the sour cream? The sour cream looks like a must add! Delicious!
Would love to try home made version, but tomatillos just do not exist in shops where I live. Canned sometimes are available, but never tried it, so if I am in mood for salsa verdee, I buy it online and even that is hard to get hands on 😞 But this looks like something I may make for my hiking trips!
Happy new year
Happy new year to you as well!
Thanks.
I made this yesterday and it was awesome! Do you also have a recipe for crockpot chicken with a red sauce for tacos and burrito's?
I don't have a red sauce version yet, but may make one in the future!
Must make this week, I would put it in some Pasta 🐚 topped with 3 😂🧀
Sounds delicious! Can't wait to see how that turns out.
I saw the video on how to cut Zucchini noodles. Did you have one on how to cook them?
If you are reading this there’s a reason……No matter how good or bad you have it,wake up day thankful for your life.Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs ❤️🇧🇸
You can make a burrito with rice and beans with the meat you can also serve it with mexican rice instead of white rice with whatever beans you like or a salad on the side .
There are so many meals to be made with this chicken!
Any sugestions onhow to cook the checken without a slow cooker?
Stuff some of that chicken in a red bell pepper, top with cheese and bake!
❤❤❤
Hi made is best but Herdez salsa verde is good!!!!
I have never seen tomatillos in London, what shall I use?
Looks good. Will you cook for me sometime? 😂
Can you please show us how to make soups for winter?
Of course! I also have tons more ideas here: downshiftology.com/courses/soups-stews/
Love your recipes, shame I'm nightshade free 😔
Looks great! Can I start from frozen chicken instead?
You can use frozen chicken breasts, just make sure to thaw them first!
Do you have a Ninja Foodi pressure-cook version of this recipe? Anyone? I have several slowcookers - but I'm trying to do more versatile recipes since I got a multi-cooker last Christmas.
Can you make this recipe on a regular pot ?
Will this recipe work with an instant pot?
I have never seen Tometinos (if that is how you spell it :) ) in the UK , can you use anything else ??
Unfortunately, tomatillos are the main ingredient for salsa verde. But, you could try this recipe with my blended red salsa here: downshiftology.com/recipes/best-salsa-recipe/
Anything i can use instead of tomatillos?😅 i can't get them anywhere
Just buy the store version of salsa verde. It works.
@@rachelparmater892 don't have that either. It's not a common thing in Europe
If you have a hand mixer, could you just shred the chicken in the crockpot?
Lisa, this is off topic, but could you show us some good dishes for Superbowl weekend, which is not until February 11th or 12th, I think.
Hi Helen! I've got some delicious ideas here: downshiftology.com/healthy-super-bowl-recipes/
Do you have a taco seasoning for chicken?
Here you go! downshiftology.com/recipes/taco-seasoning/
Is there a substitute for tomatillas? We don't have them in my country.
Hi there, the tomatillos are the main ingredient for salsa verde. But, you could make a red sauce instead and use this recipe: downshiftology.com/recipes/best-salsa-recipe/
Guys? Girl here😊
Do you add sour cream to the mixture for tacos only?
You just answered my question in the video 😂
Haha! The sour cream version is SO good by the way 😉
You’re supposed to wash the sticky substance off the tomatillos after you remove the husk. 😅
🙂🙂👍Incredible Job! 🙂 Stay blessed! 👍 Keep it up! 🙂 God bless you abundantly forever 🙂 Enjoy amazingly blessed life 🙂 Stay happy and well protected. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024! 🙂💐🥧🍬🍩🍪🎂🎂☃🎁🎉🎍👍👀🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
cassava flour tortillas?
Here's my recipe for the tortillas: downshiftology.com/recipes/cassava-flour-tortillas/
I'm really sad that I can't have this because I'm allergic to cilantro 😢😢😢
Sadly, I can’t have nightshades at all anymore.
Mexican crema is better than sour cream!!!
You can use that as well!
