Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken







One of my favorite take out food is Chipotle's burrito bowl. Now I can have it complete with its distinct flavorful chicken and sauce without leaving the house thanks to the easy slow cooker recipe below.  I decided to also provide you with the ingredients of the homemade taco seasoning. You can use the chicken and its sauce as part of a rice bowl with the usual vegetable toppings or as the meat of your tacos or burritos.

Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken 


Adapted from this recipe 

  • 2 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless 
  • 1 packet taco seasoning or use 1/4 tsp each garlic, onion, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, chili powders, salt and black pepper
  • 1-16 oz jar salsa
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro 

Mix the seasonings if making your own at the bottom of the crockpot. Then coat the chicken  breasts with the seasoning. Add the rest of the ingredients. Cook at high setting for 3 hours or at low for 6 hours. I cooked mine in an Aroma brand rice cooker/slow cooker for 2 hours at slow cooker setting.
