Salsa Verde Chicken (Slow Cooker or Instant Pot)

Tacos to the Rescue

At the risk of sounding smug, this is what I’d call a “stupid easy” dinner. It’s one of those set-it-and-forget-it wonders that makes your night stress free. Or at least the dinner prep portion of your night. This is my answer to late baseball nights, busy work weeks and general chaos.

The taco toppings are key here — fresh cut avocado, diced tomatoes, cilantro and pickled jalapeño all fit the bill. To make your life even easier, purchase prepared pico de gallo or good-quality guacamole. I usually have a variety of tortillas: Siete Foods grain-free tortillas, sprouted corn tortillas and soft flour tortillas. You could also use butter leaf lettuce or jicama to wrap up the shredded chicken.

Trust me and make a double batch of this genius meal: It freezes well and can be used for chicken and green chili quesadillas or chicken nachos down the road. So dust off your mama’s Crock Pot or your shiny new Instant Pot, plug it in and throw in your ingredients. You’ve got things to do, don’t let dinner get in the way!
