Slow Cooker Directions:
1. Place chicken in the slow cooker.
2. In a small bowl, combine salsa, green chiles, cumin, and oregano. Pour over chicken.
3. Place lid on the slow cooker and cook on LOW heat for 4 – 6 hours.
4. Remove lid and allow the chicken to cool slightly before shredding it with 2 forks right in the slow cooker. Season
with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Transfer to a serving dish, top with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges, if desired.
6. Serve over cauliflower rice or in lettuce wraps.
Instant Pot Directions:
1. Place ingredients in the Instant Pot. Put the lid on and make sure vent is sealed.
2. Set Instant Pot to ‘Poultry’ setting or set the cooking time for 15 minutes at high pressure.
3. Once cooking is completed, allow natural releasing of pressure for 5 minutes then switch the valve to ‘vent’.
4. When all of the pressure releases and lid unlocks, remove the chicken and shred chicken with two forks. Toss
chicken back into the pot to coat with sauce (or carefully shred the chicken right in the pot, if you’d like)

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
It hardly gets any easier than this recipe with just 5 ingredients! Look for a salsa
verde without preservatives or added sugars – we like the Trader Joe’s Salsa
Verde because it’s just tomatillos, green chiles, water, onions, jalapenos, salt,
and spices. Serve over cauliflower rice or tucked into lettuce wraps.
