I found this recipe once upon a time for a copy cat Costa Vida
(or maybe it was Cafe Rio) Chicken recipe.
Not really sure how similar it is to the restaurant
because I always get the steak,
but we like it a lot, especially the simplicity of it.
"Costa Vida" Chicken
5 Chicken Breasts(I use frozen breasts)
1 16 oz bottle of Zesty Italian Dressing
1Tbsp Chili Powder
1Tbsp Cumin
3 Garlic Cloves minced
Place Chicken Breasts in Crock pot. Combine wet ingredients and pour over Chicken Breasts. Cook on low 4 hours. Shred Chicken and cook on low for 1 more hour.
Serve on tortillas, nachos, salad, rice, whatever your creative mind can think of. This makes quite a bit, two meals worth at least. I always freeze half of it for another day and still have leftovers, but we are a small family of 2 and a half. ☺
Enjoy!
Yummy Kat.
ReplyDeleteYou were right, we had lots leftover. Some of the leftover chicken we turned into Camille's Chicken Tortilla Soup:

Great idea! I have some in the freezer right now, I think I'll make soup with it this week :)
