Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

  1. Combine lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth in a slow cooker.
  2. Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker and coat them well with the marinade.
