Serve immediately with sliced avocado, cilantro, and jalapeno slices. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Cook your chicken as desired and shred. In a large pot or dutch oven over medium/high heat add the ghee. Once the ghee is hot, add the onion and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir often.

Bring the saucepan down to low heat. Pour in chicken broth, green chiles, salsa verde, lime juice/zest, spices. Add in shredded chicken and stir. Allow to simmer for 20 minutes for optimal flavor.

Instant Pot:

Press the saute function on the Instant Pot, and once hot, add the ghee. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir often. Press cancel to turn off the saute feature. Add the chicken breasts (whole), green chiles, salsa verde, chicken broth, lime juice/zest, and spices to the pot. Secure the lid, turn to seal, and set the pot to high-pressure cook for 5 minutes.
