This zesty chicken recipe is great to use for all your favorite Mexican dishes. I use it for tacos, but it would be good for burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas and even nachos.
Place the chicken breasts in a slow cooker set to low. Frozen chicken breasts may be used, but increase the cooking time. Combine the rest of the ingredients (except the chopped cilantro) and pour over chicken. Cook on low 6-8 hours. At this point, remove the chicken and shred it using two forks, reserving the juice in the slow cooker. Return the shredded chicken back the the slow cooker and let sit for about 10 minutes. At this time, I like to add a bit of chopped cilantro to the chicken. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place in a serving dish. Serve with steamed corn tortillas, additional chopped cilantro and onion.

This was AMAZING! I couldn’t believe the wonderful flavor of this chicken. . I did add a splash more lime juice right at the end when I was stirring the dish. We served it with cilantro lime rice in taco shells. It was delicious and definitely will be on my monthly meals list!
