Add 1/2 cup of reduced sodium chicken broth to the food processor.

Squeeze and add 1/4 cup of fresh lime juice to the food processor.

Pour in 1/4 cup of olive oil into the food processor.

Add 4 spoonfuls of garlic to the food processor.

Add 1-2 teaspoons of pink Himalayan salt to the food processor.

Add 2 heaping teaspoons of ground cumin to the food processor.

Add 1 teaspoon of paprika to the food processor.

Add 1 teaspoon of black pepper to the food processor.

Blend all the ingredients in the food processor until evenly mixed.

Lay 2 pounds of chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.

Pour the blended sauce over the chicken to cover it evenly.

Put the lid on the crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours (or high for 4 hours).

Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and mix it with the sauce.

Add fresh cilantro to the shredded chicken just before serving, to taste.
