Cilantro Lime Chicken

Drescription

A bright cilantro-lime chicken marinade soaks bone-in chicken thighs in flavor before they're slow-cooked till they're fall-apart tender.

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 6 bone-in chicken thighs (about 2-1/4 pounds)
• 1/3 cup lime juice (about 3 limes)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 5 garlic cloves, halved

Directions

1. Combine the first 5 ingredients; rub over chicken. Place in a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Combine remaining ingredients in a blender; cover and process until pureed. Pour over chicken.
2. Cook, covered, on low until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 170°-175°, 3-4 hours.
