Green Sauce Chicken (Crock Pot) OAMC

"I came up with this when I have left over green enchilada sauce. DH really liked this. Great served with mashed potatoes or rice. This would be a great OAMC dish because you can put the sauce over the chicken before freezing and use it like a dump chicken dish."

  • Brown chicken (or not).
  • Place in crock pot.

  • Cook for at least 4 hours.
  • You can make a gravy after chicken in cooked by adding cornstarch slurry to the sauce and cook on high for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • I did not brown chicken because I had bl/sl chicken thighs, but if I had skin on I would have browned first.

  1. The chicken was very tender and had a lot of flavor. I had a couple of small open cans of sliced jalapenos that I added just to get them out of the fridge. I ended up making a smothered burrito by shredding the chicken in the flour tortilla and adding sour cream, cilantro and then smothering the burrito with the sauce. Yum!
     
  2. i am re-reviewing this because i made a few alterations and have enjoyed it MUCH more since then. i've been baking this in the oven instead of putting it in the crock pot... one step that i think is an absolute must is thawing and draining the chicken before baking or else the sauce will become watered down and less flavorful. we eat this pretty often, as it is easy and tasty!
     
  3. Too easy and a big hit with my family. I did use thighs with the skin and bone. I browned first then added to the crock pot. I let the whole mixture sit a day in the fridge so the fat from the skin could come off the top easily. I served shredded chickn over mashed potatoes smothered in the sauce. YUM!
     
  4. Ridiculously easy, yet tasty. I used chicken breasts instead of thighs, and was worried it would be too dry, but they turned out great - very tender. I did not make the gravy, as we're not really a gravy family. I also had boneless, skinless breasts, to I didn't brown first. Couldn't be easier.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hello, I am a married, no little ones, but great DH and 3 cats. Grew up in rural Nebraska with a family who loves to cook and eat. Trying to be healthier these days and lose some lbs. I do a lot of batch cooking (not quite OAMC). I am trying to get my sister to do it, she has 4 boys (14 to 6) very active and a husband. I love to collect recipes and cookbooks. I have decided that I am going to try to a new recipe each week. That will be 52 new things done this year. MY RATING SYSTEM: 5 stars: recipes that I or DH personally like . These will include recipes that I may have added or subtracted ingredients for personal tastes. 4 stars: recipes that I or DH thought was good & would eat if served to us, probably will not make again without changes. 3 stars: This is a dish that looks good but the flavor just is not there. More than likely will not make again 2 stars: Not our tastes at all. Not to say this recipe is not good just not for us. 1 star: I think that the we would have to end up in the hospital to give a 1 star rating, but will see how it goes.
