Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Green Chicken Chilaquiles.
Step 1
To create a delicious slow cooker chicken dish, start by placing the chicken breast in your slow cooker.
Step 2
Pour in half of the salsa verde, followed by the chicken broth, chopped onion, chili powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Set your slow cooker to Low for 6 hours or High for 3 hours, allowing the chicken to cook until it’s tender and fully cooked through.
Step 4
Once the cooking time is up, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 5
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and give it a good stir to mix it with the flavorful sauce.
Step 6
Next, heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers invitingly.
Step 7
Add tortilla triangles to the skillet, frying them for about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 8
Remember to flip them every minute to ensure they turn a beautiful golden brown.
Step 9
Once they’re perfectly crispy, it’s time to bring everything together.
Step 10
Add the shredded chicken along with the sauce from the slow cooker and the remaining salsa verde to the skillet.
Step 11
Stir everything together and heat until it’s warmed through, filling your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas.
Step 12
For a delightful finishing touch, mix sour cream with just enough milk in a small bowl to achieve a drizzleable consistency.
Step 13
When your tortilla mixture is ready, remove it from the heat and sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese on top.
Step 14
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 15
Finally, drizzle your thinned sour cream mixture over the dish before serving.
Step 16
Enjoy this comforting meal that’s sure to impress family and friends!.
