Ingredients:
Chicken breast (1 lb)
Salsa Verde ( 2 cups; divided)
Cumin (1-1/2 tsp.)
Whole limes (2 pcs.; juiced; divided)
Garlic Powder (1-1/2 tsp.)
Tortilla Chips or Warmed Corn Tortillas
Lime wedges and guacamole (for garnishing)
Preparation
Get a cooking spray and start spraying the insides of a small slow cooker; then set it to low flame. Place the chicken breast in the cooker along with 1 and ¾ cups of salsa and half of the line juice. Cover and let it slow cook for 8 hours. This should allow the chicken meat to be tenderized to almost perfection.
Once done, drain all the liquid contents off. Shred your chicken and place it back to the cooker. Add the remaining ¼ cup of salsa, cumin, lime juice and garlic powder. Stir the ingredients completely until the seasoning coats the chicken fully. Allow the mixture to get warm all throughout the way.
Your zesty chicken tacos now ready for serving. Add warmed corn tortillas or chips. Prepare garnishing of guacamole and lime wedges for an additional treat on the palate.
Enjoy.
