Instructions
MAKE IT NOW
- Add chicken, juice, chicken broth, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, beans, corn and cumin to a crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low 6 hours.
- Remove chicken, shred then add back into slowcooker and heat until warm. Serve.
MAKE IT A FREEZER MEAL
- Add all ingredients into a gallon sized freezer safe bag. Seal, removing as much air as possible and freeze.
THAW & COOK
- To thaw place in refrigerator overnight or up to 12 hours. Then transfer to crock pot and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low 6 hours. Remove chicken, shred then add back into slowcooker and heat until warm. Serve.
TO SERVE
- My favorite way to serve this is in homemade burrito bowls. Just add rice, sour cream, guacamole, cilantro and a squeeze of more lime for a super delicious meal. Or add to taco shells for Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos. Or top over chips and add cheese, olives and salsa for Cilantro Lime Chicken Nachos.
