Crockpot Salsa Verde Chicken

5 from 1 vote
So my kids are always getting DoorDash or running to Chipotle and I've devised a plan to keep them from wasting their money. So in that pursuit of happiness, I discovered something that should actually be added to Chipotle's menu. What I created is better than anything Chipotle could EVER do. And that is the truth. So here we go. I served this up to my kids and you know what Anthony said? He said Chipotle could never. So Chipotle, I am reaching out. This blog is for you. Check it out. Add it to the menu and otherwise, if you're not Chipotle, you should make it yourself. And that's it. It's salsa verde chicken. Chipotle I’ve found your new menu item to compete with me!
