Note

For this I sliced my 3 chicken breasts in half so they were 6 thinner ones and had to do it in two batches. The second batch I used a packet of fajita seasoning instead of taco seasoning. The recipe called to use half the Salsa Verde on the veggies and the rest on the chicken but I only ended using about ¾ of the bottle and saved the rest.
