Dutch Oven Instructions
Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
Cut onion in ¼" half moon shapes, add to dutch oven.
Add chicken, Salsa Verde, and chilies to the dutch oven.
Stir to combine. Cover.
Place in oven and cook 1½ hours.
Carefully remove pot from oven as it will be hot.
Remove chicken pieces and allow to cool before shredding.

Notes
The crock pot method takes longer but can be left alone due to auto shut off properties. I would not recommend leaving the home with a dutch oven cooking.
