With options to cook it in a pan or in a slow cooker, to let it marinate or cook it right away, this Cilantro Chicken<\/strong> is a perfectly easy option to feed a crowd\u2014or just your family. It has flavors similar to those in carne asada and is so delicious!<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been trying to have a more robust collection of recipes that are easy enough to make for a crowd\u2014but that are also delicious enough that I\u2019m confident sharing them at a party, holiday, or potluck\u2014and this chicken recipe is my new favorite.<\/p>\n

The marinade ingredients are similar to the ones used in classic carne asada, which means they are super flavorful. But paired with less expensive (and easier to cook) chicken thighs, the recipe hits all the marks for flavorful and easy.<\/p>\n

Plus, you can prep the chicken ahead of time and cook it whenever you are ready.<\/p>\n

There are options to cook this on the stovetop or in the slow cooker<\/a>, which makes it super versatile. The slow cooker<\/a> option is perfect for sharing with a larger group of people or to use for meal prep since you can easily portion out leftovers.<\/p>\n

This is great paired with plain rice, cilantro rice, or used in burrito bowls or burritos.<\/p>\n

(Other crowd-pleasing recipes include my best ever Pasta Salad<\/a>, Pesto Pasta Salad<\/a>, and Instant Pot Butter Chicken<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
