Did you know that April 30 is Dia del Niño or Day of the Child? It’s a day to celebrate the amazing children we have in our lives!
Dia del Niño
This is a traditional holiday that is celebrated across Mexico and many Latin American countries. Children have parties at school and continue to celebrate at home with their parents. Popular games include loteria (my 10 year old loves it) and soccer.
I am definitely inspired by HERDEZ® to get my kids in the kitchen with me! I created this simple but delicious Salsa Verde Chicken. I love that we can use the chicken for tacos, flautas, burritos, or salads. I plan on making homemade tortillas with my kids and the crockpot can take care of the chicken!
So don’t forget, April 30th is Dia del Niño! Make sure you plan a special meal–something quick and easy (like this recipe) so that you have more time to hang out with the kiddos! We are planning on playing UNO, Pie Face and loteria, cooking tortillas together and just enjoying the family time. 
Ingredients
- 6 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 16oz Herdez Salsa Verde
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tbsp chili powder
- 1/2 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp minced garlic **optional
Instructions
- Pour half a cup of the salsa into your slow cooker.

Thanks Jeanne, it’s really good! My kids loved it. Today I found Herdez brand Guacamole Salsa which was amazing but very spicy!
Looks great and I have not heard about this salsa, Crystal.
