Directions:
1. Place chicken breasts in bottom of crockpot.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, cayenne, chili powder, paprika, salt, lime juice, and honey. Pour over chicken breast. Cover with lid. Cook on high for 4-6 hours, cook times vary based on your slow cooker.
3. With 30 min of cook time remaining, remove chicken onto plate. Shred with two forks. Place chicken back into crockpot for remaining 30 minutes to soak up juices.
**You can use this chicken for anything you’d like. Below, I’ll share an enchilada option with you.
