If you're looking for a bold, flavor-packed dinner that comes together with almost no effort, you're going to love this Spicy Chili Lime Chicken. Don’t let the ingredient list fool you—it’s a simple, throw-it-in-the-slow-cooker kind of meal that rewards you with juicy, zesty chicken that's perfect however you serve it. Mark loves his stuffed into soft tacos, I pile mine over crisp shredded cabbage, and honestly, it’s just as good in crunchy hard shells. However you plate it, one thing’s for sure: this dish brings the heat, the tang, and all the craveable comfort you need. Let’s get cooking!
