Cafe Rio

I got this recipe from an enrichment that I had recently and thought that I would share it . It is a recipe for Cafe Rio's Chicken.

Chicken for burritos or salad like Cafe Rio

6-7 boneless chicken breasts

1 small bottle of Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

1 T. cumin

1 T. chili powder

3 cloves garlic, or 1 ½ t. minced garlic

 

Cook in crock pot on low for 4 hours.  Shred chicken and cook for another hour.


Hope you all enjoy and looking forward to some time having a sister in law lunch again.  If you have any fun recipes (dinner or dessert etc.) please send them to me and I can post them.
