Crock Pot Cilantro Chicken

As part of the family favorite recipe challenge, today I am sharing this recipe for Crock Pot Cilantro Chicken. I love to eat this served over riced cauliflower/sweet potatoes topped with avocado. It makes a great week night meal. Just put it together the night before, turn it on in the morning and your meal is waiting for you when you get home from work!

Crock Pot Cilantro Chicken

1/2 onion chopped
1 can black beans rinsed and drained
2 cups chicken broth
4-6 chicken thighs - bone in, skin on
Garlic salt
Dried cilantro

Directions:

1. Add the onions and black beans in the bottom of the crock pot.
2. Pour 1 cup of the chicken broth over the onions and beans.
3. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of garlic salt and 1 tablespoon cilantro over the mixture.
4. Place the thighs in the crock pot pushing them down into the bean/rice mixture. 
5. Pour the rest of the chicken broth over the thighs and sprinkle with a little garlic salt and cilantro on top of the chicken.
6. Cook on low for 7-8 hours. 

Great served with rice and avocado!



If you are watching your sodium level, be sure to use a lower sodium black bean as well as chicken broth to keep the sodium at a manageable level.  Or make your own chicken broth with no added salt with this recipe

  1. Well that looks just perfect for a busy week night easy dinner.
    I had to look up cilantro though, here in the UK we call it coriander - now I know that I'm all sorted to give this a try!

  8. Roseann, that looks soooo good! I'll have to make it with boneless, though, because my husband claims he doesn't like chicken thighs, but when I use the boneless he doesn't seem to notice that it's thighs!
