Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
  • 1.5 cups roasted tomato salsa
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 0.25 cup chicken bone broth
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the trimmed chicken thighs to ensure even seasoning.
  3. Place the seasoned chicken thighs into the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
  4. Pour the roasted tomato salsa, fresh lime juice, honey, and chicken bone broth over the chicken.
  5. Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours (or High for 3 hours) until the meat is tender and easily yields to a fork.
  6. Remove the chicken to a board and shred using two forks. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker juices and let rest for 20 minutes to reabsorb the flavors before serving.
