What busy mom wouldn’t love a meal that can be tossed together in under 10 minutes? Just add chicken, yogurt and your favorite salsa and the slow cooker will do the rest.

After a few hours your chicken will be so moist and tender that you’ll be able to shred it directly in the slow cooker. You can use green salsa (our personal favorite) or get creative with any kind of salsa—pineapple, mango, the sky is the limit.

A family-friendly meal that tastes delicious AND requires minimal cleanup? Hallelujah!

No slow cooker, no problem. You can bake your Salsa Verde Chicken in a dish.

• Tacos
• Fajitas
• Inside burritos or enchiladas
• Burrito bowls (rice on the bottom, layer with chicken, shredded lettuce and toppings)
• On a salad
• In stuffed peppers with rice and black beans (a great way to recreate leftovers)
• As is!

• Limes
• Shredded lettuce
• Shredded red cabbage
• Diced onion

• Sliced avocado, Guacamole or Mashed Avocado Spread
• Finely chopped jalapeños
• Chopped peaches, pineapple or mangos (our FAVORITE!)
• Cilantro
• Grated cheddar cheese or queso fresco
• Greek yogurt (a wonderful substitute for sour cream)
• Salsa
• Pico de gallo
• Hot sauce (we LOVE to add flavor with an array of hot sauces)
• Beans (black or pinto)

• Black or pinto beans (Try this Seasoned Bean recipe)
• Whole grain brown rice, topped with a little salsa
• Cilantro Lime Rice (Chipotle’s Copycat)
• Foil-pack Corn on the Cob (substitute red chili powder for Old Bay)
• Homemade Tortilla Chips (baked in the oven)
• Rice Cake Nachos (much healthier than store-bought nachos and just as tasty)
  • If you’re having guests over, you can always add the option of regular nacho chips in addition to rice cakes or baked tortillas, so your guests can decide for themselves.

• To make it family-friendly, use mild salsa so it’s not too spicy for your kiddos.
• Set all your toppings out buffet-style (if you have kids—you may want to limit how much cheese you set out so their tacos don’t end up being cheesy quesadillas!)
• If you have extra time and want to make homemade tortillas, this tried-and-true Whole-Grain Corn Tortillas (authentic Mexican recipe) is our favorite. They’re freezer-friendly, so make a double batch for future meals.

Whether you’re with your kids, friends or family, you’ll love this Salsa Verde Chicken for a fun twist on taco night. It’s a wonderFULL way to make healthy eating interactive and FUN!
