This just didn't have as much flavor as I thought it would. It also was a little greasy so maybe I will try again but tweak it. Thanks.

DH & I both liked this! Pros: Easy, appealing, made my husband happy, and a different kind of flavor for a Crock Pot recipe. (I'm cooking pretty much all slow cooker meals right now because my two-year-old and three-month-old both get craziest in the evenings!) Cons: The flavor didn't WOW me. I think, like one of the other reviewers, I will amp up the garlic and lime next time for a bit more kick.

This turned out to be a tasty dish that was incredibly tender. I cooked it for about 6 hours on low and used 1.5 lbs of chicken breasts. Midway through added in a package of carrots. Next time I'll add in some more garlic and lime for a bit more of a zing, but was great as is.

This was so good that DD and I argued over who was getting the left overs (it wasn't that bad!) I'm not a big fan of instant rice, but for this dish it's perfect. Loved the lime and garlic flavor that infuses into the rice. Just realized that I left out the butter, but guess it didn't really make a difference. I also used boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of bone-in. Makes a great meal for a busy night. Thanks for posting this! Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup.

This chicken was so delicious I could have eaten all 4 thighs all by myself! Because I turned on the crockpot before I left for work, I wasn't able to get back to it until the full 10 hours later, but it was still so tender. I ended up using brown rice instead of instant. I took the chicken out and put the broth and juices in a separate pot to prepare the rice. I kinda messed up that part (my fault, not the recipe!) so the rice was a little, um, al dente? Haha, the flavor was great though! Thank you so much for posting!
