Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 8 taco shells (soft or hard, based on preference)

  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken thighs in the bottom of the crockpot and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and lime juice. Stir well.
  3. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken in the crockpot.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours.
  5. Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks and return it to the crockpot to soak up the sauce.
  6. Warm your taco shells or tortillas.
  7. Spoon the honey garlic chicken into each shell.
  8. Top with your favorite toppings such as shredded cabbage, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, lime wedges, and a drizzle of sriracha mayo or sour cream.

Notes

  • Replace honey with maple syrup for a vegan alternative.
  • Consider adding diced bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and texture.
