Slow Cooker Lime Garlic Chicken with Rice This recipe is pretty awesome with a couple modifications. First, zest either one or two of the limes in addition to the lime juice. It adds some serious flavor without being over the top. Second, I like to use jasmine rice, but in order to have it fully cooked, I put it in an hour before the recipe is done. Also, use chicken thighs with the skin and add a dash of salt when you add the other spices. This recipe is something that I make once or twice a week because my boyfriend and me can't get enough of it. Give the recipe another fair shake with the changes and I'm pretty sure you'll find it as awesome as I do.
