It’s just kind of a lotta lime juice. Cool if you like citric acid I guess. I don’t think I’d make it again but I’d halve the lime juice and add some kinda hot sauce or something. It’s also a lot of liquid as well. Might be better with some rice.

I tried this recipe for the first time yesterday. I didn't have any cumin so I substituted creole seasoning. I also doubled the recipe for the seasoning mix. I seasoned the chicken on both sides before putting it in the crockpot. I followed the recipe except I put one layer of chicken in and added the garlic, lime juice mixture and salsa Verde. I also added more seasoning mix after the lime juice since the lime juice washed most of the seasoning off. I repeated the same steps with the second layer of chicken). My family and I loved this recipe and I will definitely make it again!

I used chicken leg/thigh quarters. I always take the skin off chicken and with this recipe it does not get dry. When they were done on high, I lifted them into a glass dish. I topped with more salsa verde and cumin and put them into the oven to make sure they stayed hot. Just before guests came, I sprinkled cheese and topped pieces with tomato slices. Put a pinch of sweet basil on each tomato, then add more cheese just to make it look nice. Back in the oven at 350 until tomatoes are soft and cheese is melted. Yowzers!
