Shredded Chicken

I found this recipe while looking online for a Cafe Rio copy-cat recipe. It is really tasty in tacos and burritos.


3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thawed)
1 1/2 cups Italian dressing
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon chili powder
juice from one lime
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Place chicken in a 4-6 qt. slow cooker. Pour dressing over top and sprinkle with chili powder and garlic. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4.

Remove chicken from pot, shred with a couple of forks, then put it back in the pot. Cover and cook an additional 30 minutes. Add lime juice and cilantro.
