Honey Chipotle Chicken Tacos
These Honey Chipotle Chicken Tacos were definitely my favorite recipe out of the bunch. I love making recipes where all I have to do is put something in the slow cooker, it makes dinners super easy in my house. Since I’m so busy, I don’t always have the time to stand in the kitchen and whip up an amazing dinner. Being able to put something in the slow cooker and not have to stand and watch over it is such a lifesaver. I’m able to continue going about my day while my dinner cooks, which allows me the reprieve of not having to worry about it later in the day.
This chicken is extremely versatile! There are so many options – tacos, burritos, tostados, etc. This recipe is perfect for meal prepping, since you can have a different dinner every day of the week with this. When I made my chicken, I decided to put it in a taco salad and it was DELICIOUS!
