Please leave a comment for Shredded Lime Chicken... did it feed six? Did you like it? Did you love it?
4-5 boneless chicken breasts (about 2.5 to 3 lbs.)
1 1/2 cups of 7-up or Sprite (12 oz. can)
1/2 to 1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 limes (~4 Tbsp. lime juice)
Cook in a crock pot on medium heat for 8 hours or 6 hours on high heat until chicken falls apart and shreds with a fork. Stir in the juice of 2 limes before serving. This recipe is part of a Cafe Rio Style Mexican Shredded Chicken Salad. When we don't have everything to make the full recipe we just make it like burritos.
For Cafe Rio Style...Serve on a warm flour tortilla. Melt cheese on tortilla if desired. Layer on rice (cilantro rice), black beans, chicken, lettuce, fresh cilantro sprigs, grated cheese, tortilla chips, and creamy tomatillo dressing. Add salsa, guacamole and juice from a lime wedge to taste.
