I woke up to the sound of, "Kori, you overslept." Don't you hate that? So, the rest of the day was about 30 minutes behind. :) I'm so glad that I took the time to throw one of my favorite recipes in the crock pot this morning! For a rainy, cloudy day this Agave Lime Chicken will help your spirits brighten as well as help with weight loss. Limes aid with digestion, and many other things, but they contain almost 2 grams of fiber in 1 lime. That's pretty impressive for this small little fruit!
Make SURE you try this recipe.
1 whole chicken - preferably organic
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 large onion (or 2 med)
2 limes, juiced & put into the crock pot
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup Agave Nectar (or Honey)
1/2 cup water
1. Place the chicken in the crock pot.
2. Chop the celery, onion, and garlic. Put in the pot.
3. Juice 2 limes over the chicken and then place the limes in the pot.
4. Pour water into the pot.
5. Pour Agave Nectar over the chicken and salt & pepper the chicken.
6. Put the Crock Pot on Low if starting early in the day, Put on High if starting midday.
7. When you get home or right before dinner, place the chicken in a small pan under a hot broiler in the oven just the brown the top of the chicken.
The End.
Side Suggestion: Sweet Potato & Broccoli
I got this idea from Elana's Pantry, but I switched up a few things. This chicken was so tender that when I tried to pull the whole chicken out of the pot, it broke apart... The picture will tell all. :)
