CROCKPOT CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine oil, lime zest, lime juice, cumin, coriander, chili powder and salt in a large sealable plastic bag. Add chicken; seal the bag and massage to coat the chicken. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade; discard the marinade. Add the chicken to the pan in an even layer; cook, undisturbed, until browned on the bottom, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Do not wipe the pan clean.
• Add scallions to the pan; cook, stirring constantly, until blistered and tender, about 2 minutes. Scatter the scallions around the chicken. Drizzle with the juices from the pan and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.

Steps:

• In a small heavy pot, add rice, water, 1 tsp oil and salt.
• Boil on high until most of the water evaporates. When the water just skims the top of the rice, reduce to low and cover about 20 minutes.
• Shut off flame and keep covered an additional 5 minute.
• In a medium bowl, combine chopped cilantro, lime juice, rice and remaining oil and toss until completely mixed.
