  • 1 slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 medium onion finely sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 16 ounces salsa verde
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1 ½ cups shredded Monterey jack cheese

Instructions

  • Place chicken, onions, and garlic in your slow cooker
  • Pour over the salsa verde and cover. Cook on low 4-6 hours or high 2-3 hours
  • When the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F and is cooked through, shred with two forks.
  • Combine chicken broth, half-and-half, sour cream, green chilies, and 2 tablespoons cilantro together in a saucepan over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour a spoonful of the cream sauce into each meal prep container.
