SLOW COOKER CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN
Chicken breasts are one of the most popular cuts of meat, but I often find them dry and bland unless they've been properly brined or marinated. Enter the magic of the slow cooker, which solves our dry chicken problem with easy and elegance. Chicken breasts are slow cooked in a slightly spicy sauce until juicy and infused with flavor. Lime juice and salt tenderize the chicken as it cooks, and the result is restaurant-quality cilantro lime chicken that will transform you into a weeknight dinner super hero!

Steps:
- Place the chicken broth, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, jalapeno, salt, cumin, paprika, and pepper into a food processor. Blend until the garlic and jalapeno are pulverized and the sauce is well incorporated.
- Lay the chicken in a single layer in the crockpot. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours for best results (or high for 4 hours).
- Using two forks, shred the chicken. Add the cilantro to the chicken, and toss again. Serve immediately (see post notes for serving suggestions). Leftovers keep in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for a week, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

- Wash and dry the chicken, remove the giblets and neck. Cut off any big chunks of fat. Season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in a large crock pot, breast side up. Squeeze the juice of the lime over the chicken and put the rind, cilantro sprigs and garlic into the cavity. Cover and cook on LOW 6-7 hours.
- At this point, the recipe suggests de-fatting the liquid, by either putting it in a gravy separator or refrigerating until fat congeals and removing the fat.
- I use the meat in tostadas, burritos or Tortilla Soup. You can add the meat to sauteed peppers and onions, flavoring with the de-fatted chicken stock for fajitas.
