Season pork with the ground cumin, dried oregano and ½ teaspoon each salt and black pepper.

Pour Pace® Salsa Verde, diced green chilies, chicken broth, onions and garlic over pork in the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours or on low for 8-9 hours, or until the pork begins to fall apart.

Serve chili with desired toppings.
Recipe Notes
You may need an additional 1-2 cups of chicken broth or jar of Pace® Salsa Verde when heating leftovers as the chili thickens up quite a bit when refrigerated.
