Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken Chili is a super easy flavor packed recipe that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. Just dump in the ingredients in the morning and dinner is ready when you come home! 

 

Once the weather starts to cool down I start craving chili. Usually I make a traditional tomato based chili with ground beef. Occasionally, I make white chili that has a chicken broth base and white beans such as cannelloni or Great Northern, chicken and diced chilies.

So when I saw a Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken Chili I thought it looked like a great way to enjoy a favorite meal in a new way. Bonus points were awarded for it being a slow cooker recipe!

Now I don’t know about you but my favorite kind of crock pot recipes are the kind where you drop in the ingredients, set the timer and walk away until it’s done. This Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken is one of those drop and go recipes.

This recipe calls for a seeded and diced jalapeño. Dicing a jalapeño can be tricky, if you touch your face while you are cutting it you can burn your eyes and that can be painful. Whenever I cook with jalapeños I buy them diced in a 4 oz can and I measure out about a teaspoon. You can also buy diced jalapeños in a jar and measure what you want to use and then keep them in the fridge for tacos, hot dogs and even tuna salad.

As this recipe cooks the flavors start to meld together and in the end this chili layered with flavors and packs just a touch of heat. I like to garnish this with cheese and a little fresh chopped cilantro.
