Ingredients

4 pounds Chicken breast

1/2 cup Chicken broth

1/2 cup Tequila

1/4 cup Olive oil

4 Limes Juiced

4 cloves Garlic

1/2 cup Cilantro

1 Jalapenos Seeded

2 teaspoons Cumin

1 teaspoon Paprika

1 tablespoon Chili powder

1 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Pepper

2 Oranges Juice from (maybe)


Directions

Place the chicken broth, olive oil, tequila, lime & orange juice, garlic, cilantro, jalapeno, salt, cumin, paprika, and pepper into a food processor. Blend until the garlic and jalapeno are pulverized and the sauce is well incorporated. Lay the chicken in a single layer in the crockpot. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours, until the chicken is very tender and easily pulls with the tines of a fork. Using two forks, shred the chicken right in the pot. Add the cilantro, then toss until well combined. Serve warm, right away. Enjoy! Notes · Note 1. If you prefer spicier chicken, keep the jalapeno seeds and/or double the jalapenos. You may also want to add up to 1 teaspoon chili powder to the sauce. · Note 2. If you don't have a food processor, finely chop the jalapeno and garlic, then whisk all ingredients until emulsified (very well combined).
