SALSA VERDE CHICKEN AND BEAN BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Spray a 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Add cannellini beans, salsa verde, diced tomatoes with chile peppers, taco seasoning, cumin, and garlic powder; stir to combine. Spread in the prepared baking dish and cover with foil.

SLOW COOKER SALSA VERDE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the chicken thighs, salsa verde, green chiles, chopped garlic, jalapeño, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Stir to evenly combine. (Don't add salt now; jarred salsas are often high in sodium.) Cook on low until the chicken is tender and the flavors are blended, 5 to 6 hours. (If you will be away for 8 hours or more, set the cook time for 4 hours on low and set the slow cooker auto-switch to warm for the remaining time.)
• Use two forks to coarsely shred the chicken. With the heat on low, add the scallions and cilantro, and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and lime juice. Serve with rice or in tortillas, if desired, with accompaniments.
