Hi Friends!<\/p>\n

I shared this Crockpot Cilantro Lime Chicken recipe over 7 years ago and still make it fairly often. It’s one of my favorite crockpot dump meals. I love it because it’s super forgiving – you don’t need exact measurements you can prep several batches ahead of time, freeze in ziploc bags and then just pull one out to thaw and cook during a busy week. It’s perfect for giving to a family after a new baby, in a time of need, etc because it’s so easy to prepare and they can just toss it into the crockpot whenever they need it most.<\/p>\n

This meal is also perfect for sunday meal prep. If you want to learn more about meal prep and how it can help you eat healthy during busy weeks, check out my course: Mastering Food Prep<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s also super versatile. You can serve it on its own over rice, or use it as the filling for tacos or burritos. I’ve even served it over chips topped with cheese for some easy nachos!<\/p>\n

I’ve tested this cilantro lime chicken in both the crockpot and the instant pot. Here’s how you make it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\n<\/symbol>\n<\/defs>\n<\/svg>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>
