Tonight, again, I’m out doing a presentation and won’t be home for dinner. Coincidentally, I’ve also had several requests for more crock pot recipes, so I thought I would feature one of my favorites. For some reason, I haven’t made this in quite some time but I really do love the combination of cilantro and lime. I pair this up with some brown rice or quinoa and you have a wonderfully easy, and flavorful dish.
Ingredients:
4-5 chicken breasts, washed and trimmed
14 ounces of chopped tomatoes
2 bell peppers, chopped
1 lime, juiced
1/2 onion, chopped
1- 14 ounce can of black beans, rinsed and drained
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1 handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon of ground cumin
1 teaspoon of chili powder (I used chipotle chili powder)
Salt and pepper
Dash of cayenne
Directions:
Place everything in the crock pot and give it a good stir to coat everything and mix all of the spices. Cook on low for 4+ hours. Serve over brown rice or quinoa. You can also chop the chicken and use in fajitas or tacos.

Just reading the recipe made my mouth water. I’m definitely making this while my kitchen remodel is going on. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
How much lime juice did you use?
One juiced lime 🙂
Sounds so delicious and easy, love the flavor combination. Thinking it would be yummy shredded in some whole wheat tortillas.
Take care

Thanks Connie. It is one of our favorites! Easy weeknight meal too 🙂
I made this recipe lastnight and we really enjoyed it! My tastebuds thank you! I used chicken drumsticks since it’s what I had .. also used a can of diced tomatoes with green chillies instead of the chopped tomatoes and jalapeno peppers and it worked well, not too spicy either. I also doubled the cilantro since I really like cilantro. Very flavorful and lime-ey too. Served over spanish rice (which absorbed some of the yummy juice) with mango avocado salad. Will definitely be making this throughout the summer. Did I say Thank you? 😀
