Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or mix of thighs and breasts)
1 teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon crushed black pepper, divided
1 small onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 jalapeno, halved*
¾ cup orange juice
2 lime (2" dia)s limes, juiced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 small bunch cilantro, stems cut off and leaves coarsely chopped
12 each corn tortillas
Serving suggestions: diced red onion, chopped cilantro leaves, fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Line a 4-6 quart slow cooker with a Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner.
  • Trim any large pieces of fat from chicken thighs. Season chicken with half the salt and pepper; add to slow cooker.
  • Add onion, garlic, jalapeno, orange juice, lime juice, soy sauce, cumin, and the remaining salt and pepper to slow cooker. Stir gently with a wooden or silicon spoon to combine.
  • Cover and cook on high setting for 2 to 3 hours or low-heat setting for 4 to5 hours, until chicken is done.
  • Carefully remove lid to allow steam to escape. Use slotted spoon to transfer chicken to a large bowl or cutting board. Shred into bite-size chunks. The chicken should easily shred when it is cooked through.
  • Ladle out some of the juices from the slow cooker, leaving enough to mix with shredded chicken.
  • Spoon shredded chicken back into lined slow cooker. Season to taste with additional salt, pepper, and cumin, if necessary.
  • Warm tortillas in oven or on stove top.
  • To serve, top each tortilla with shredded chicken, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
