1-First Step: Gather and prep your ingredients Start by placing your slow cooker (aim for 4 to 6 quart) on the counter. Measure out ½ cup honey, ¼ cup chicken stock or water, and the juice of 2 limes. Mince the 6 garlic cloves so they distribute evenly in the sauce.

2-Second Step: Whisk the sauce in the bottom of the crockpot In the bottom of the slow cooker, whisk together honey, chicken stock or water, lime juice, minced garlic, and ½ teaspoon salt. Whisking first helps the honey dissolve and spread the flavor across the whole cook.

3-Third Step: Add the chicken and coat thoroughly Add the 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts and turn them so every piece gets coated with the honey lime sauce. This matters because the coating becomes your cooking liquid, and that is what makes honey lime chicken so flavorful when shredded.

4-Fourth Step: Cook on low until it reaches 165°F Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. If your crockpot runs hot or cold, check a piece near the middle since heat can vary.

5-Final Step: Shred and toss with the cooking liquid When the chicken is done, remove it to a bowl. Shred using two forks or an electric hand mixer for super fast results. Once shredded, toss the chicken with the cooking liquid in the slow cooker so it stays juicy and coated.
