Notes
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs both work great. Thighs stay extra juicy if you’re cooking all day.
Use a thick, good-quality salsa verde for the best flavor. If it’s watery, the chicken can turn soupy.
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheats beautifully and freezes well for later meals.
