Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken Recipes
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.

SLOW COOKER CILANTRO-LIME SHREDDED CHICKEN
We love shredded chicken...I will often make large batches of it and freeze in meal size portions. This makes chicken tacos, enchiladas and other favorite chicken meals all that much faster to get on the table. For this chicken, I used what I had on hand in the freezer. I dropped a package of chicken breasts and a package of chicken thighs into the slow cooker...a good mix of white and dark meat! Along with some lime juice, olive oil and big hunks of cilantro and bam...Seriously y'all...the cilantro flavor totally infused into the chicken as it cooked all day. Perfect for using in your favorite Mexican chicken dish. Also, I should add that I got a large batch of cilantro for just $0.29!
