How to Make Basil Lime Chicken in a Slow Cooker

Cris here.

For years we have made Basil Lime Chicken on our grill and everyone LOVES it! So the other day I started testing out how we could convert it to a slow cooker recipe and boy am I glad I did!

I just can’t wait for you to try this in your kitchen and knock your family’s socks off!

Crock Pot Basil Lime Chicken Notes:

• This is the slow cooker version of our very popular grill recipe: Basil Lime Chicken.
• You can marinade the recipe overnight, if needed.
• We like to use this tool to zest limes. You will be amazed how much flavor lime zest can add to your dishes AND it is way easier to do than you think.
• Another great tool to have on hand is this hand held juicer. We use it ALL the time.
• Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
• Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
• As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
• All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
