Key Lime Pie Pulled Chicken, Paleo, GF

We've really been inspired by limes lately. We don’t know if it’s because they are so hard to come by these days or if it’s because we have a slight obsession with our Key Lime Pie Chicken recipe. Maybe a mixture of the two? We've been wanting to use the same flavors from the Key Lime Pie Chicken but in another form and figured that we'd give a Key Lime Pie Pulled Chicken recipe a try.

It came out great! Lime, cinnamon, and paprika work their magic in the slow cooker and the result is a refreshing citrusy sweet pulled chicken that tastes awesome.

This may just be us, but the flavors here are so pronounced. It’s like an everlasting gobstopper, or that candy in Willy Wonka that tastes like a three course meal.

The first taste is sweet, then as you chew, you taste the cinnamon, and then the lime, and then the smokey paprika.

We really enjoyed slowly eating and savoring every bite while noticing the different flavors.

Now, we're not normally a lime person, which is why our recent lime recipes feel like fate. We're a lemon person through and through.

We normally buy a bag of lemons at Costco, but they were out and they only had limes.

Normally we would just not buy them but for some reason we decided it would be a good idea.

And then the whole lime shortage happened. And then we made Key Lime Pie Chicken, and we became majorly hooked on limes!

This Key Lime Pie Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken is wonderful! It goods itself, thanks to the slow cooker, and it tastes great.

Just right for a salad or to eat all on its own… and we'd have to say it’s all thanks to the limes!
