Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken

Sorry it's taken so long to finally post this recipe! I served this as one of the meat selections for the taco bar at my son's 2nd birthday gathering, and a few have asked for it.  It's fantastic and super easy to put together!

Plus, it's always fun to serve something different when you're planning to make tacos or burritos.  Beef can get boring, right?

Anyway, here you go:
