Getting bored with your chicken breast marinades? This freezer friendly Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken will help you switch it up!
Freezer Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken Ingredients:
- Chicken Breast
- Jalapenos
- Garlic
- Fresh Lime Juice
- Oil
- Salt & Pepper
The garlic packs a flavorful punch while the jalapeno’s bring a mild heat that balances out the tang of the lime.
If you want it to be spicier, I recommend substituting Serrano peppers for the jalapenos. If you really like spicy foods, you could even go with habaneros.
How To Make Freezer Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken:
Just throw this in the refrigerator the night before you want to eat it. This will allow it to defrost safely.
Then, dump the entire contents of the Ziploc bag into your crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
