Crock Pot Chicken

I have to remember this one. I was looking for a Cafe Rio Chicken recipe, but I didn't have the ingredients it called for, so I came up with this delectable little dinner, and the whole family was wowed!

5 chicken breasts (bones and skin- that's where the good stuff is)
place in crock pot and add

5 cloves garlic crushed
1 Tbsp chili powder
Juice of 1 big lime
salt, pepper and onion powder to taste ( I just sprinkled it all over the breasts)
1 cup water mixed with one dry packet of Chipolte Ranch dip (From Hidden Valley)

Cook on low for 3-5 hours or until chicken is done. Shred chicken, it will be fork tender, and leave in juices.

I served it on homemade tortillas, with lettuce, blackbeans, tomatoes and cilantro ranch or sour cream
Delicious!

The next day I used the leftovers in tortilla soup!
