Slow Cooker Mexican Cilantro Chicken

Slow Cooker Mexican Cilantro Chicken

This slow cooker recipe was a huge hit with my latest C1 Challenge. This recipe also comes straight from my Simply17 weekly meal plans, too!

This dish can be served in lettuce wraps, homemade cauliflower tortillas, or as a topping over lettuce greens. This is a perfect main entree for the family as non-dieters can use regular tortillas to make tacos or burritos while you have a healthier version. Yes, that’s right! One dinner for the entire family!
