Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a slow cooker, except for the lime juice and cilantro.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.
- Shred the chicken with two forks, then stir in lime juice and cilantro. Taste and add more salt and pepper as desired.
- Serve over rice, in tacos, or however you like!
Notes
- Storing: Let the chicken cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 4–5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: If frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating. To reheat, place the chicken in a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat and cook until warm, about 5 minutes. Add a splash of salsa verde or broth when reheating to keep the chicken from burning. Alternatively, you can reheat in the microwave.
