Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 lb chicken breast boneless, skinless
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 lime juiced
  • 2 tsp garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 can black beans drained + rinsed, 15 oz
  • 2 cups corn frozen
  • 1 tbsp cumin ground

Instructions

MAKE IT NOW

  1. 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.
  2. Remove chicken, shred then add back into slowcooker and heat until warm. Serve.

MAKE IT A FREEZER MEAL

  1. Add all ingredients into a gallon sized freezer safe bag. Seal, removing as much air as possible and freeze.

THAW & COOK

  1. 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

  1. 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.
