In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we went with a Mexican meal for dinner tonight – Cilantro Lime Chicken. This slow cooker recipe is so easy. Just put some salsa, taco seasoning, lime juice and fresh cilantro in the slow cooker with chicken breasts, set on low for 6-8 hours, go to work and come home to enjoy. Top it off with items like jalapeños, black beans, sour cream and more to make it your own taco, or put it on top of a salad if you want to keep it a bit healthier. If you love guacamole as much as I do, try this recipe. No matter how you eat it, enjoy this super easy, delicious chicken!
