Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken Tacos Recipe

Name: Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken Tacos
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 480 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 14 servings
Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon adobo sauce; 0.25 teaspoon pepper; 1.5 pounds chicken breasts and thighs; 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder; 0.25 cup cilantro; 8 ounces cream cheese; 12 flour tortillas; 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt; 2 teaspoons lime juice; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 0.5 cup queso fresco cheese; 2 cups cabbage; 1.5 cups salsa verde; 1 serrano pepper; 0.75 cup cream

These tacos feature chicken cooked until tender in a slow cooker with salsa verde and cream cheese, then shredded and served in tortillas. A bright, crunchy slaw with cabbage and serrano pepper, along with a creamy chipotle sauce, cuts through the richness. It's a straightforward meal that comes together easily, especially since the chicken handles most of the work on its own.
