Super Easy Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken

Now everyone knows why I made my salsa and taco seasoning this morning :)  Tonight we had cilantro lime chicken with yellow rice.  I had a package of saffron rice in my cupboard to use up so it made sense to combine it like a rice bowl.  This would be good with some black beans, sour cream, guacamole, olives, etc.  Just add whatever toppings you like and you are good to go!



Super Easy Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken
1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 Cups Quick and Easy Salsa  or jarred if you prefer
Juice from 1 Lime
1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro
2 TBS Homemade Taco Seasoning or 1 packet
  1. Place chicken in slow cooker and top with the rest of the ingredients
  2. Give it a quick stir to combine and cook on low for 6 hours
That's it.  Pretty simple.  You can shred the chicken (or leave whole) and serve in tortillas or serve over rice.  We decided to serve ours over rice topped with cheese and a side of tortilla chips and salsa.  YUM!  Everyone enjoyed it and I think it would be great wrapped in tortillas with your favorite toppings.  I think next time we will try it in tacos. 

Look the picky one is eating!
