Slow Cooker Green Chile Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • 2 (7 ounce) cans diced green chile peppers, divided
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 whole head garlic, peeled and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2 large limes, juiced, divided
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Begin by placing a generous amount of oil at the bottom of your slow cooker. Next, add the chicken breasts and thighs to the pot, followed by a can of chile peppers, sliced onion, minced garlic, a sprinkle of cumin, and half of the juice from a lime. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
2
Cook on Low for an extended period, approximately 8 hours, or until the chicken becomes tender and falls apart easily.
3
Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, remove it from the slow cooker using two forks. Then, return the shredded chicken back into the pot.
4
Add the remaining chile peppers and the juice from the other half of the lime to the slow cooker. Stir everything together, ensuring all the flavors are well combined.
5
Finally, taste and adjust the flavor as needed by adding more salt and pepper to suit your preferences.
