Equipment
- Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts into the crockpot. Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, garlic powder, honey, and lime juice until well combined.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring they’re well coated.
- Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours. The chicken is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is tender enough to shred.
- For a pulled chicken style, use two forks to shred the chicken and return it to the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This allows it to soak up even more of the flavorful sauce.
- Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
