  2. Transfer seasoned onions to a small crock pot (or medium-sized saucepan). Add chicken broth, cilantro, lime juice, and pepper to onions and simmer on low-heat for at least 2-3 hours.
  3. In the meantime (when you are close to serving), combine taco seasoning and paprika. Brush chicken with oil and rub with taco seasoning/paprika mixture. Grill chicken over medium-heat until cooked through (try to turn only once during the grilling process). Remove from grill and shred.
  4. In individeual bowls layer chicken and add toppings. Ladle about 1 cup of chicken broth directly over the layers. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.
