Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken

(recipe courtesy of Allrecipes.com)

A very flavorful shredded chicken recipe. Makes a ton so I freeze the extras for other recipes that call for cooked chicken. I also put this together the night before, store it in the fridge, and then plug the slow cooker in the next morning before church.

Ingredients:
1 (16 oz) jar salsa
1 (1.25 oz) package dry taco seasoning mix
1 lime, juiced (or 2 T lime juice)
3 T chopped fresh cilantro
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

Directions:
1. Place the salsa, taco seasoning, lime juice, and cilantro into a slow cooker and stir to combine. Add the chicken breast (cut them in half so they marinate and cook more evenly) and stir to coat with the salsa mixture. Cover the cooker, set to High, and cook until the chicken is very tender, about 4 hours. If desired, set cooker to Low and cook 6 to 8 hours. Shred chicken with 2 forks to serve.

Make into tacos with flour tortillas, shredded cheese, tomatoes, green peppers, onions, sour cream and avocados.
