I doubled this using boneless skinless thighs and breasts, added 1tsp ground chipoltle, and put it right away into the crockpot on high (low setting on mine is defective). It was done in about 4 hours, I had to leave it a bit longer till we ate. I added some cornstarch to the broth in the pot to thicken slightly. Served it over equal parts buttered corn, black beans and tomatoes, sprinkled with crushed tortilla chips (the crumbs left in the bag). EVERYONE in my family loved it. Leftover meat would be great in enchiladas or tacos. We loved the freshness of the lime and did not think it was too strong.

I found this same recipe elsewhere. It's a good thing we only made one batch to try it out. It smelled wonderful as it baked--but the flavor was a real let-down. We thought it was very mediocre; it just didn't suit our tastes at all.

Fantastic! Cooked it in the crockpot. It had a good lime flavor. Could use a touch more salt to my taste, but I like salt a lot.
