Slow Cooker Barbecue Lime Chicken
I am in love with this recipe and my kids were begging for seconds! This recipe is so simple yet, the addition of fresh lime juice and zest adds a lovely zip to the slow cooked chicken and your favorite bottled barbecue sauce.
This recipe only has three ingredients but it is packed full of flavor. We served our pulled BBQ chicken on hamburger buns with a side of oven baked waffle fries for a kid friendly dinner. There was just a little bit of the zippy chicken leftover after dinner and I warmed it up in the microwave the next day, wrapped it up in a tortilla and topped it off with some shredded lettuce and a little shredded cheddar cheese for an amazing wrap for lunch the next day.
Another perk of this flavorful recipe is that is a super easy slow cooker freezer meal. The full freezer meal instructions can be found in the notes section of the recipe below, but basically you dump the chicken, BBQ sauce and lime juice and zest in a freezer bag and freeze it. Thaw or partially thaw when you are ready to cook. Easy peasy!
