Layer the chicken breasts on top of the salsa verde mixture. Drizzle juice of the remaining lime over the top of the chicken. Close the crockpot lid and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.

Add the shredded chicken back into the crock pot. Add the fresh cilantro and stir to combine (you can also drizzle with additional lime juice if you desire).
