Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken

Marcie found this recipe on Pinterest and makes it all the time for her and Keith.  I thought I would give it a try, and Derrick loved it!  It has a strong lime flavor.

24-ounce jar medium salsa
juice from one lime
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 package taco seasoning (I actually left this out - it was flavorful enough on its own!)
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped (optional)
6 boneless chicken breast halves

In a crock pot, mix together the salsa, lime juice, cilantro, taco seasoning and jalapenos.  Add the chicken and coat with the salsa mixture.  Allow the chicken to cook, covered, in the slow cooker on low for 6 hours.  Serve chicken with salsa mixture spooned over top or shred and use as taco filling (which is what we did).
