Cooking chicken in a slow cooker is delightful. Cooking chicken that has been marinating in this cilantro lime marinade for hours is mind blowing. Each bite of this chicken is full of flavor, fall-off-the bone tender….and healthy! Pop this bird in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner is ready by the time you get home.
