Lime Cilantro Chicken Recipe

• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/4 cup non-alcoholic or light beer

• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

2. In small bowl, combine lime juice, beer, garlic, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Spoon mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
3. Cook chicken on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours. Slice or shred chicken as desired and use as filling for quesadillas or nachos.
