Instructions to make Peruvian Shredded chicken and cilantro sauce

1. Oven to 225 or slow cooker to medium
2. Add everything except chicken into your Dutch oven or slow cooker (whole halved lime included) and toss to coat. (Not cilantro sauce ingredients)
3. Put chicken on top, breast side up. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper (defrosted is better but in a pinch I put one in frozen, just needs more time to cook)
4. Put in oven or slow cooker, cook 4-5 hours depending on chicken size
5. To make Cilantro sauce, combine all ingredients in a food processor or good blender. Refrigerate until ready to use. Sauce should be completely creamy and incorporated.
6. Once chicken is really falling apart, remove from heat into a baking dish or something you can work in to shred, let cool slightly.
7. Take two forks and shred chicken. Careful to not include bones or tendons, I don’t usually include skin.
8. Assess what’s left in pot, what would taste good once you mix chicken back in. I’d squeeze out then remove the lime, maybe smash up the garlic more and remove any chicken skin, big herbs etc. if you added potatoes to slow cook, maybe scoop them out and have on the side so they don’t mash up once the chicken goes back in. Then add the shredded chicken to your pot. Return to heat and heat on low 30 minute before you’re ready to serve.
9. Serve with some rice and beans, cilantro sauce and lime wedges. You can also
   make hot sandwiches, use in burritos, on nachos, with a salad, use in chicken tortilla soup etc

You will also discover as your own experience and confidence grows that you will find your self more and more usually improvising as you move and adjusting meals to fulfill your own personal preferences. If you'd like less or more of ingredients or want to generate a recipe a little more or less hot in flavor that can be made simple adjustments on the way in order to attain this goal. In other words you will start punctually to create meals of one's very own. And that is something you will not fundamentally learn when it has to do with basic cooking skills to beginners but you'd never learn if you did not master those basic cooking skills.
