This is an easy and tasty version of chile verde that I adapted from a slow cooker cookbook. This keeps very well for 3-4 days, and honestly tastes as good if not better reheated. You can also serve it inside tortillas as a taco or burrito for a second meal. Enjoy!

    This is darn close to as good as my traditional (more laborious) chile verde recipe. If you're craving a full flavored chile verde, and don't want to spend much time in the kitchen, this is a fantastic alternative.
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

        Hello...this looks wonderful! I know it's a cooked traditionally with pork, can I do this with chicken? If so, thigh meat?
