How to Make Fiesta Lime Chicken on the Grill
Cris here.
One of our very favorite low carb slow cooker recipes is Crock Pot Fiesta Lime Chicken, a main dish we converted from yummy oven dish we found in one of our favorite low carb cookbooks, Keto Restaurant Favorites. The sauce on this chicken is absolutely incredible and we make it a LOT around here. So the other day, I decided to throw it on the grill instead of the slow cooker and we loved the results!

Hi Cris! What would you recommend having with this? We’re doing low carb, but I don’t want to keep using cauliflower rice (I’m about cauliflower riced out!). Thank you! And thanks for the amazing recipe!! ❤️
Hi Chelle!
Right under the recipe in the post are 3 recipes we recommend serving it with. I like it on its own, Mikey likes it in a low carb tortilla. But if you are wanting some sides, the guac, avocado salad and the broccoli all go nicely with it.
Just like everything else y’all cook…this looks Delicious!! Loved the video, poor Mikey having to grill in the rain🌧🌧🌧😂😂😂
Oh yea, meant to say, pinned it!!
Thanks so much! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Thanks so much for pinning it!
