Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil, for sautéing
  • 1.75 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • ¼ teaspoon Primal Palate Taco Seasoning
  • 2 4-ounce cans of green chiles
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary

 

Instructions For Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs With Green Chiles

  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Use tongs to add the chicken thighs to the pan. Place a lid on the skillet and cook for 3 minutes each side, turning the thighs over one time to cook evenly.
  3. Transfer the chicken to a 5-quart slow-cooker.
  4. Pour the green chiles over the chicken and sprinkle on the taco seasoning. Add the sprig of fresh rosemary on top.
  5. Cover the slow-cooker and cook for 4-6 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
  6. Serve hot with your choice of cauliflower rice, cooked brown or white rice, or your favorite side dish. Sliced avocado makes a great topping!
