Instructions:

1. Add the salsa verde, diced chilis, and seasoning to the crockpot. Mix well.

2. Next, add the chicken. Mix it around until it’s sitting partially covered by the salsa mixture.

3. Cook on high for 2 1/2- 3 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked. The cooking time will vary depending on how hot your crockpot runs.

4. Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred it. Place the chicken back in the crockpot and mix it around in the sauce.

5. Add 1/3 cup sour cream and mix again.

6. Serve over rice with your choice of toppings! I’ve listed everything I placed in my bowl above. Enjoy!
