Salsa Verde Chicken Bowls
I love a meal that comes together in the crockpot and these Salsa Verde Chicken Bowls are perfect for lunch or dinner during the week. The salsa verde chicken comes together in the crockpot and the bowls are easy to assemble with fresh ingredients after.
If you want a new meal to add to your meal prep routine, you have to try these Salsa Verde Chicken Bowls. Not only are these perfect to make at the beginning of the week, but there are so many ways to switch it up so you never get sick of the salsa verde chicken! The shredded chicken easily comes together in the crockpot and then you have a protein prepped for the week.
