1-First Step: Mix the sauce Set out a 4 to 6 quart slow cooker. Add 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup chicken stock or water, 2 limes juiced, 6 cloves garlic minced, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk everything right in the bottom of the slow cooker until combined. This keeps cleanup easy and helps the flavors blend from the start.

2-Second Step: Add the chicken Place 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts into the sauce. Turn each piece so it gets coated on all sides. If the breasts are very thick, try to arrange them in a single layer so they cook evenly.

3-Third Step: Slow cook until tender Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Cooking time can vary depending on the size of the chicken breasts and the heat of your slow cooker. Try not to overcook it, since that can make the meat dry.

4-Fourth Step: Shred the chicken Once the chicken is done, remove it from the slow cooker and move it to a bowl. Shred it with two forks, or use an electric hand mixer if you want a faster method. The hand mixer trick is great when you are making a big batch of shredded chicken for meal prep.

5-Fifth Step: Toss it back in the sauce Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and toss it with the cooking liquid. This helps every bite stay moist and flavorful. If the sauce looks thin, let it sit for a few minutes so the chicken soaks it up.

6-Sixth Step: Serve it your way Serve your slow cooker honey lime chicken in bowls, tacos, wraps, sandwiches, or over rice. It also works really well with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. Because the flavor is sweet, citrusy, and savory, it fits a lot of different meal styles.
