These honey lime chicken tacos are so flavorful and delicious!

These Slow Cooker Honey Lime Chicken Tacos are my new favorite slow cooker dish.  The lime and honey and seasoning make this chicken super flavorful.  It is so versatile and can be used in tacos, nachos, burrito bowls, anything you like!

I love an easy dinner that I can just throw in the slow cooker and this one only has 7 simple ingredients most of which you probably already have on hand!  That is another one of my favorite things about this recipe!   A slow cooker recipe that only need a few ingredients, sign me up!  The best? My whole family loves this meal for taco night.

I love that I can just throw everything in the slow cooker and have a delicious, flavorful dinner that everyone loves.  Whenever I find a dinner that everyone in my house eats I get excited!  And for it to be in the slow cooker? That’s a double score!

This chicken cooks in a flavorful sauce until it is nice and tender.  Then you just shred it up to make these delicious tacos but we love it just as amazing burritos, nachos or even quesadillas.

All you need to make these delicious tacos are chicken, honey, lime, garlic, broth, paprika and fajita seasoning.  Then just pile it up on fluffy tortillas and dinner is done!

I love that you can customize this to your family’s taste, you can add onions and peppers, make it spicy, add shredded cheese, you can totally make this your own.

Can we also take a minute to talk about how budget-friendly this dinner is?  Everyone is feeling the pinch with the grocery bill right now and you can’t get much cheaper than chicken breasts and and a couple seasonings, so super budget-friendly.  This is a fabulous dinner when you are trying to save a few pennies.

This freezes great, make a double batch and store half of it in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container for another day!

Next time you want a family-friendly dinner even the pickiest kids will love throw these ingredients together and let the slow cooker take care of the rest! 

I promise your whole family will love these Slow Cooker Honey Lime Chicken Tacos.

Ingredients used

• Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts –  You can also use tenderloins, thighs or try it with pork!

• Lime Juice –  I use fresh but you can use bottled if that is what you have on hand.
• Honey –  This gives this chicken it’s sweetness.
• Chicken Stock –  Just a little to help everything cook evenly.
• Garlic –  Use fresh or jarred, you could even use garlic powder if that is all you have.
