Ingredients

½ c chicken broth

¼ c olive oil

¼ c lime juice

4 cloves garlic (peeled and smashed)

1 jalapeno (seeded and chopped; see Note 1)

2 tsp cumin

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp kosher salt (see notes)

1 tsp ground pepper

2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

½ c chopped cilantro

Directions

Place the chicken broth, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, jalapeno, salt, cumin, paprika, and pepper into a food processor. Blend until the garlic and jalapeno are pulverized and the sauce is well incorporated. (See Note 2)

Lay the chicken in a single layer in the crockpot. Pour the sauce over the chicken.Â

Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours, until the chicken is very tender and easily pulls with the tines of a fork.

Using two forks, shred the chicken right in the pot. Add the cilantro, then toss until well combined. Serve warm, right away. Enjoy!
