SLOW COOKER SALSA VERDE CHICKEN
This spicy, saucy chicken takes almost no time to prep in the morning and only 5 minutes to finish before eating. At its simplest, the recipe is a meal-in-a-bowl stew, and the toppings are key to making it feel special. You could serve the chicken over rice or a whole grain, or use it as a taco or enchilada filling (use a slotted spoon to serve the chicken, if it is very saucy). You can also add 1 cup of frozen or fresh corn, or a drained 15-ounce can of black beans or pinto beans; just add them at the end along with the fresh cilantro and scallions. The level of heat in jarred salsas can vary, so taste yours first to ensure it is to your liking. If you want more spice, leave some of the jalapeño seeds in, or use hot canned green chiles instead of mild ones.

Steps:
- Combine the chicken thighs, salsa verde, green chiles, chopped garlic, jalapeño, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Stir to evenly combine. (Don't add salt now; jarred salsas are often high in sodium.) Cook on low until the chicken is tender and the flavors are blended, 5 to 6 hours. (If you will be away for 8 hours or more, set the cook time for 4 hours on low and set the slow cooker auto-switch to warm for the remaining time.)
- Use two forks to coarsely shred the chicken. With the heat on low, add the scallions and cilantro, and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and lime juice. Serve with rice or in tortillas, if desired, with accompaniments.

PRESSURE COOKER SALSA VERDE CHICKEN
This warming, satisfying stew takes about 30 minutes from start to finish, thanks to the pressure cooker, which makes quick work of braising chicken and melding flavors. Use your favorite jarred green salsa as a shortcut: The salsa mingles with the chicken juices to make a thick, tangy sauce that tastes like more than the sum of its parts. (Jarred salsas vary in heat levels, so be sure to taste yours first. Make the dish spicier by leaving some of the jalapeño seeds in.) Serve the chicken over rice or whole grains, which soak up the sauce, or use the chicken in tacos, burritos or enchiladas. You can also add one cup of frozen or fresh corn, or a drained 15-ounce can of black or pinto beans to the cooked chicken and simmer until just warmed through. Pass around toppings like crunchy pepitas, tortilla chips, crumbled queso fresco or avocado, to customize at will.

Steps:
- Add the chicken, salsa verde, canned chiles, chopped garlic, jalapeño, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin to a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker; stir to combine. (Don't add salt yet, as many jarred salsas are high in sodium.) Close the lid and turn the pressure knob to sealed. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
- Turn off the pressure cooker and allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. Open the lid. If you would like to reduce the sauce, remove the chicken with a slotted spoon to a bowl and turn on the simmer function; let the sauce bubble for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to thicken. Add the chicken back into the pot if you have removed it. Use two forks to coarsely shred the chicken. Stir in the scallions and cilantro. Taste, and season with salt and lime juice.
- Serve in bowls, alone or with rice, or in tortillas, with desired toppings.
SALSA VERDE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
According to my niece, Bayleigh, these are the bomb of chicken enchiladas. It is an adapted creation from several recipes I have used in the past. You can make as individual enchiladas or as a casserole with or without the corn tortillas. Garnish with jalapenos and cilantro as desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, poblano peppers, jalapeno peppers, and garlic; cook and stir until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken; squeeze lime halves over chicken, then place rinds and pulp into the skillet. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes.
- Remove and discard lime rinds. Stir in cream cheese, 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, chili powder, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Once cream cheese is melted, remove from heat.
- Puree salsa verde, sour cream, and cilantro in a blender or food processor.
- Heat tortillas in a microwave until soft, 15 to 30 seconds.
- Pour enough of the sour cream mixture into the prepared baking dish to coat the bottom. Place 2 heaping tablespoons or more of the chicken mixture in each tortilla, roll up, and place seam side-down in the baking dish. Pour remaining sour cream mixture over all enchiladas and top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Cover the dish with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes.
