Slow Cooker Southwest Style Chicken with Cilantro Lime Rice Recipe

I am so excited! My younger sister, Shantel moved back home after college ended in May! We love having her close by again. One of our favorite things to do when we hang out together is cook! Tonight she had my daughter and I over for dinner. I just had to share the delicious recipe she made for all of us.

This Slow Cooker Southwest Style Chicken is pretty darn amazing. It's SO easy to make too, which is a plus.  Just throw everything in the slow cooker, and make the rice before you eat. 
This is something that will be included in our menu regularly. I'm so glad she made it!
