This slow cooker cilantro-lime chicken is bursting with flavor. Try it in tacos for a nice change from plain chicken.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
- 1 (1.25 ounce) package dry taco seasoning mix
- 1 medium lime, juiced
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Directions
Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
Stir salsa, taco seasoning, lime juice, and cilantro together in a slow cooker until well combined. Add chicken breasts and spoon salsa mixture over top to coat.
Step 3
Cover and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, on Low for 6 to 8 hours or High for 4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Step 4
Shred chicken in the crock with two forks, then mix with the sauce.
Step 5
Enjoy!
