Crockpot Green Chile Chicken Tips

This is really a simple recipe that as easy and putting everything in the slow cooker.

  • I used about 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You can use bone-in since the bone does yield a lot of flavor. Then, remove the bone before you shred the chicken. Additionally, you can use chicken thighs, if you prefer.
  • For the green chiles, I used (2) 4.5-ounce cans of a name brand. I’ve found any name brand is better than generic in this case.
  • I recommend full-fat cream cheese. It melts so much better than reduced-fat or fat-free. If you must use a lower fat cream cheese go for the reduced fat. However, I don’t recommend fat-free cream cheese for this recipe.
  • Finally, use the block cream cheese, not the whipped cream cheese.

Can I freeze this?

As well, this chicken recipe freezes well. Freeze it in an airtight container and let it thaw fully before reheating, you can definitely make this cooked chicken days ahead of time and store it in your freezer.

Can I cook this in the oven?

Yes. First, add the chicken and remaining ingredients to a casserole dish. Next, cover and cook it in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Finally, shred it with two forks and stir until creamy.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 2 4.5-ounce cans green chiles undrained (I like this brand.)
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 ounces cream cheese cubed (I like this brand.)

Instructions

  • I always like to use a liner in my slow cooker for easier cleanup. Add the liner, then layer chicken breasts, green chiles, garlic, pepper, salt, and cumin. This is my favorite slow cooker.
  • Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Remove the chicken and add the cream cheese to the slow cooker. Replace the top to allow the cream cheese to soften and melt. While it melts shred the chicken with 2 forks.
  • Whisk the cream cheese mixture until it smooth. Return the chicken to the slow cooker and stir.
  • Serve immediately or reduce heat to warm and serve later.

    I have never made this via crockpot but have in the oven. It’s always a hot here. I doubled the recipe and will be using the left overs for enchiladas tomorrow in a salsa verde. So excited.

    The picture showed grated Cheddar cheese on top, however, it is not listed as an Ingredient. Is it meant to just be a serving suggestion?
    Looks delicious. Hope to try soon.

      Yes, I sprinkled a little cheddar on top mostly for the photos. Sorry, I forgot to mention it. But cheddar usually makes everything better in my opinion. I used only about 1/3 cup.
