This recipe is the best. Simple and easy. Not too many ingredients. The overnight marinade really makes it. Don’t forget to put the lime in the chicken cavity.

This had the house smelling so good while it cooking. This was a great recipe. I will make this again and again.

If I use chicken pieces, how much liquid do I need in the crock pot? I have a 6 qt programmable and I know they say fill 1/2-3/4….and I just don’t want to mess it up since I will be at work.

I am planning to make this tomorrow and was wondering the same. I only have chicken breasts on hand.

I am curious… would cooking it on high for fewer hours work? Or no? If so, how many house would you do it? 4?
