Equipment
- 1 Slow Cooker or Crockpot
Ingredients
- 3 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless (about 2 lbs)
- 1 bottle Salsa Verde
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 bay leaves, fresh or dried
- 2 tsp ground cumin, or adjust amount to taste
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 1 tbsp jarred sliced jalapeno or 1 fresh jalapeno, seeded and sliced
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Place the chopped onions at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the chicken breasts on top and add the rest of the ingredients. Cover and let cook for 6 hours on low or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Notes
TIPS & TRICKS:
For even better flavor, heat the cumin by dry-stir-frying it in a small skillet until aromatic - about a minute or less. Heating spices allow them to release their flavors. Once heated through, add to the slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients. Or, you can mix it with the salsa verde before pouring it into the crockpot.
