Garlic Lime Chicken – Crockpot

This is a very simple way to make chicken in the crock pot that comes out moist; eat by itself or add it to a dish.

1. 1 whole chicken
2. 2 limes, quartered
3. 6 cloves garlic (more or less, whole or minced)
4. 1 cup water, beer, wine, or other liquid of your choice
5. Seasoning: I use a touch of sea salt, ground pepper, and or worcestershire pepper

Stuff the lime quarters and garlic cloves inside the chicken, place in crock pot and add liquid/seasonings of your choice. 

Cook on low for 4-6 hours.  You’ll know it’s done when the meat just comes off the bones, but use good tongs to pull it out and/or a big spoon underneath the chicken to keep it from falling apart when transferring to a plate. 

Things to do with the chicken:

1. Shred, slice, or cube the chicken and put in container for later use with salads, soups, sandwiches, or other meals during the week.
2. Make gravy or sauce with the liquid, mashed potatoes or rice, and service with the chicken and a veggie.
3. Add to chicken broth and veggies for chicken soup.
4. Stir-fry with veggies in wok and serve over rice.
