Low Carb Salsa Verde Chicken

August 6, 2019

I love an easy meal idea especially when there’s not enough time to cook. You can let this low carb salsa verde dish cook itself while your away in a crock pot or prepare it quicker in an instant pot. It all depends on how much time you have. I find myself short on time so I usually cook the chicken in the instant pot so I can prepare this meal in about 20 minutes or less.

We like to make this dish for tacos as we shred the chicken. If you just wanted a chicken dish, you can skip shredding the chicken and just have whole chicken breasts to serve over cauliflower rice.
