Slow Cooker Garlic Lime Chicken with Rice Recipe

It can get so hot in Miami during the summer, the last thing anyone wants to do is grill outside or heat up their kitchen with a hot stove or oven! I absolutely love slow cooker and crock pot recipes because they free up so much of my time.

I just pop everything into the slow cooker in the morning and by dinner time, it’s all set! You can even be lazy and throw the slow cooker into the fridge with the leftovers and not have to clean it right away. Ha!

What Kind of Chicken Should I use in this Slow Cooker Garlic Lime Chicken with Rice Recipe?

I used frozen drumsticks for this recipe, but you can always use fresh, or a bone in chicken thigh as well. You can easily get away with 6 drumsticks or thighs with this recipe.

Check and see what is on sale in your grocery stores - with the prices of groceries going up every week it seems lately, it is time to budget and save when it comes to our meals! Or you can double the recipe if you would like to make more and use a larger slow cooker.
