Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cups Fresh lime juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot in a single layer.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, minced garlic, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until well combined.
Pour the lime and garlic mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred it using two forks, or slice it into pieces, as desired.
Return the chicken to the crock pot and stir it into the juices to soak up the flavor.
Serve the lime garlic chicken topped with fresh chopped cilantro and lime wedges on the side for extra zest, if desired.
Enjoy as is or pair it with steamed vegetables, brown rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
