This is another of my low calorie but tasty meals that I can make ahead for lunch at work or dinner at home. I got this idea from this recipe for slow cooker chicken tortilla soup. But I did not have any corn tortilla's to fry and as always I changed it little to match what I had on hand.
This made enough for 4.
To your slow cooker add first 10 ingredients.
Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. Remove chicken breasts.
Using two forks shred the chicken.
Return shredded chicken to slow cooker bowl, Stir in add the lime juice and cilantro, taste for seasoning.
If serving immediately, divide among bowls. Top off with a generous helping of shredded cheese and if you had them tortilla strips. This was very tasty, easy to put together and healthy, you really can not ask more of a soup recipe than that.
