    Chicken
    5 lbs chicken breasts (no bones)
    1 (16 ounce) bottle of kraft zesty Italian dressing
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    1 tablespoon cumin
    3 gloves garlic, minced
    Rice
    3 cups water
    3 cups rice (instant rice works best)
    4 teaspoons chicken bouillon
    4 gloves garlic
    1/2 bunch cilantro
    1 (4 ounce) can green chilies
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon butter
    1/2 onion
Preparation
    Make the dressing by blending all the ingredients together in a blender. The longer this can sit and chill the better the flavor will enhance.
    Chicken: Put in crock pot for 4 hours then shred and replace for 1 hour to soak up the juice.
    Rice: Blend in the blender the following: bouillon, garlic, cilantro, green chilies, salt, butter and onion.
    Let water come to a boil; add rice and blended ingredients. Let rest until rice is done.
    What we did was put a tortilla in a frying pan and added cheese on it until it became slightly crisp then layered chicken, rice, romaine lettuce, fresh lime and the dressing.
    This was a easy and very good recipe and the leftovers were great!
