Creating your own Crock Pot Cilantro Lime Chicken is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the crock pot. Make sure they are arranged evenly.

2. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken broth, lime juice, chopped cilantro, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until mixed well.

3. Pour Mixture: Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken in the crock pot.

4. Set the Temperature: Cover the crock pot with its lid, and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

5. Check for Doneness: After the cooking time is complete, check that the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

6. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the crock pot and use two forks to shred it. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir it back into the sauce for a few minutes.

7. Garnish (optional): Serve the chicken topped with sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, or extra fresh cilantro if desired.

8. Final Mix: Ensure the chicken is well-coated in the delicious sauce before serving.

Taking these steps will yield a mouthwatering dish that captures the essence of fresh flavors.
