Mexican-Style Shredded Chicken

  • 5

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 c chopped yellow onion
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with mild green chiles
  • 1/4 c chicken broth
  • 1 lime, juiced

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, stir together cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper; sprinkle onto chicken.

Place chicken in a slow cooker, and top with onion, garlic, tomatoes, broth, and lime juice. Cover and cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest portion on chicken registers 165º, 4 to 5 hours on high or 7 to 8 hours on low.

Remove chicken from slow cooker, reserving 1/2 c cooking liquid. Shred chicken with forks; toss together with cooking liquid.
