    Crockpot Chicken Verde (1)

    Crockpot Chicken Verde with 5 ingredients will get your dinner ready in one pot and full of flavor with herbs and spices.

    Crockpot meals are simple to make and save a lot of time for busy moms and families. You rarely have to defrost your meat and with a little chopping of your ingredients and placing in your crockpot, the only other thing you have to do is wait.

    That being the beauty of it is getting it ready and letting it do it’s “thing,” while you work on more important tasks.
