How to Make Lime Chicken With Peppers
- Combine 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 1 medium red onion (sliced), 1 red bell pepper (sliced), and 1 green bell pepper (sliced) in your slow cooker.
- Stir gently to coat the chicken evenly.
- Cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the creamy cilantro sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over low heat.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup whole milk until the sauce thickens.
- Add 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker to the sauce, whisking constantly.
- Stir in another 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and continue whisking until smooth and thickened.
- Gradually add more cooking liquid from the slow cooker, about 1/2 cup, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
- Stir in 2-4 tablespoons of lime juice to taste.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks.
- Add the shredded chicken and the remaining ingredients from the slow cooker to the creamy cilantro sauce. Stir to combine.
- Serve over rice or pasta. Garnish generously with fresh cilantro.
