Crock Pot Cilantro Lime Chicken
You can tell the Back-to-School routine has begun. It's Thursday and between running kids to school, play practice, tennis practice, meetings and back to school nights, dinner time is in serious jeopardy. But wait, what is that flying in to save dinner time? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's . . . Super Crock Pot!
The Crock Pot. What a magical invention. You just throw a bunch of uncooked food in it, turn it on and a few hours later . . . Dinner. You don't even have to tap the lid and say abracadabra, but I highly recommend it, especially if your kids are in the room. It never hurts for them to think you have magical powers.

Here's one of my favorite, versatile and tasty crock pot recipes: Cilantro Lime Chicken.
Throw some chicken breasts, a jar of your favorite salsa, taco seasoning and a little squirt of lime juice into your Crock Pot and a few hours later dinner will magically appear. Shred the cooked chicken and use it to make tacos, burritos, fajitas, chicken taco salad, enchiladas, quesadillas or just about any other delicious, Mexican chicken based recipe you've got on hand. It's that easy. It's that good. Dinner time is safe . . . at least for today.
1 16-ounce jar of your favorite salsa
1 package dry taco seasoning
2 tbsp. lime juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Put salsa, taco seasoning and lime juice in the Crock Pot and stir to combine. Add the chicken breasts and stir to coat with salsa mixture. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Add cilantro the last hour of cooking. Shred chicken and let soak in juices until ready to serve. Then thank your Crock Pot for saving dinner time, once again.
