Notes

  • Frozen chicken breast should be thawed before being cooked in a slow cooker.
  • We do not recommend cooking chicken from frozen.
  • Chicken should always be cooked to an internal temperature of 165-degrees F according to FoodSafety.gov.
  • This can also be cooked on low for 6-½ hours.
  • You can chop your ingredients as large or small as you like. Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor! If you don’t care for cilantro, substitute parsley.
  • You can add homemade taco seasoning to the chicken as it cooks for extra flavor
