Slow Cooker Chicken Chile Verde Stew

This thick and hearty stew – with just a little spice – is perfect for meal prepping or for stockpiling in the freezer. We have yet to meet a bowl of chile verde that had us thinking, ‘Well, that’s pretty,’ because truth be told, chile verde isn’t much to look at. It’s pale green with somewhat indistinguishable ingredients thanks to that long, low simmer that turns a handful of simple ingredients into something utterly magnificent. But don’t let that stop you from digging into a big bowl of this Slow Cooker Chicken Chile Verde Stew. What it lacks in outward appearance, it more than makes up for in depth of flavor and delicious toppings.
