Dinner Tonight: Chicken Chili Verde

At our house, dinners like this are just perfection.
I love this meal because it cooks away all day in the slow cooker and then comes together in no time. My kiddos love this because they're into tortillas, chicken, salsa and guacamole (Texas kids for sure!).
The next time you're looking for a quick little supper to whip up on busy nights, you should make this one. You will not be disappointed!

This recipe serves 4 adults.

Shopping List 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (not frozen) 1 green bell pepper, chopped 1 small onion, chopped 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped 2 (4 oz) cans of chopped green chiles 1 (1 oz) package of taco seasoning or two tablespoons of chili powder 1 (16 to 24 oz) jar of salsa verde (that's a green salsa available in many brands) 1 cup or so of chicken stock or water 8 tortillas (flour, corn or I used whole wheat) Guacamole as a side or to garnish Shredded Montery Jack or Cheddar Cheese to garnish A squeeze of fresh lime juice, optional

In your slow cooker, place your chicken, chopped bell pepper, onion and jalapeno, cans of green chiles, taco seasoning, salsa and stock or water. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours or on high 3 to 4 hours.
When you're ready to serve, remove the lid of the slow cooker and shred up the chicken right inside the slow cooker using two forks.
Top each tortilla with a little bit of the chicken mixture, some fresh guacamole a little cheese and a squeeze of lime juice.
That's it! Supper is done (and totally delish!).

For my kiddos, I don't want things too spicy, so I use a mild salsa verde. The jalapenos will not be as spicy after cooking all day but you could exclude those if you think it's too hot for your family.
