Instructions

1. Add chicken to the bottom of the slow cooker. Next, pour the salsa verde and beer over the chicken. Add the cumin and season with a few generous pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper. Use a pair of tongs or a spoon to turn/mix the chicken mixture so both sides are coated. Cover the mixture and let it cook. This recipe can be cooked for 3-4 hours on high heat if you are in a hurry, or 7-8 hours on low heat if you would like to set it and forget it before heading out for the day.

   
2. The chicken is ready when it is easily shred with a fork. Drain most of the liquid, but not all as you need some to help keep it moist. Next, shred the chicken in the slow cooker, and toss with the remaining juice. Finally, remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and serve warm. The shredded chicken can be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

   
3. Enjoy!
