Easy Crock Pot Salsa Verde Chicken Tostadas

I am always looking for new crockpot recipes. This one was simple, easy, and healthy to boot. The recipe is from skinnytaste.com

Ingredients:1 1/2 lbs raw skinless chicken tenders (I used chicken breasts)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp oregano (we were out so I used parsley)
1/8 tsp ground cumin
salt, to taste (I used just a sprinkle of season salt)
16 oz roasted salsa verde

Tostada shells or corn tortillas
Sour cream
Salsa
Broccoli slaw
Cheese

Season the chicken with the garlic powder, oregano, cumin and salt and place them in the crock pot. Pour the salsa verde over the top and cover and cook HIGH 2 hours (I cooked mine for 6 hours on LOW.)After the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the crock pot and shred it with 2 forks. Remove 2/3 cup of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker, and discard (unless you want it over rice). Place the shredded chicken back into the crock pot and stir it with the remaining salsa. You can adjust the seasonings at this point if desired.

This recipes makes about 3 cups.

We served our chicken on tostada shells and corn tortillas (the healthier option) topped with sour cream, salsa, broccoli slaw and cheese. You can visit skinnytaste.com for the exact nutrition information on this recipe.
