This Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient Creamy Salsa Verde Chicken Tacos are incredibly delicious! Simple to make and perfect for those busy days. You will fall in love, I promise!

My slow cooker is my saving grace so many nights when it comes to dinner. I’d be lost without it. This 3-Ingredient Creamy Salsa Verde Chicken is my newest slow cooker sensation and has won all of us over. We can’t get enough of it. We actually stood there eating the chicken right out of the slow cooker after we’d eaten our tacos. It’s sooo good!

Three ingredients make this one of the simplest, quickest slow cooker meals ever. The flavor of this chicken is amazing. My all-time favorite salsa verde is from Trader Joe’s. It’s honestly the best one I’ve ever tasted. It’s only $1.99 a bottle and I always make sure of have at least two or three bottles of it in my pantry. I use it all the time. If you’re lucky enough to have a Trader Joe’s close by, I highly, highly recommend you use their salsa verde.3-ingredient slow cooker creamy salsa verde chicken tacos_edited-1Now I know this really looks like nothing spectacular, but please just trust me when I say the pictures don’t even do this justice. This chicken is creamy, packed with flavor, moist, tender and absolutely delicious. Every time I make it, my boys honestly go crazy over it, I mean crazy!

Dinners honestly don’t get any easier than this. Well, ok, I guess driving through Chick-fil-A’s drive through or calling Cafe Rio for take out might be easier, but this is a close second.

Please, please, please try this. You will absolutely love it.

    Can you freeze leftovers? I specifically want to make this to give away.

      Yes! I’ve frozen leftovers before in freezer bags or tupperware containers and it works great. I just pull it out the night before I want to use it and put it in the fridge overnight. When I reheat it, I either put it in my slow cooker on low for about an hour (or until it’s warmed through) or I put it in a pan and heat it on low on my stovetop. I put a couple of teaspoons of water in the pan and put a lid on it. It tastes great heated up!

    I made this last night and it was delicious! We used avocado, Cotija cheese and fresh pico as our toppings. Our little girls thought the chicken was a little spicy so we cooled theirs down with some sour cream. We served instant pot pinto beans on the side. Thank you for another great recipe!
