Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather your ingredients. Season the chicken with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Juice the limes.
  2. In your crockpot, place the seasoned chicken breasts and pour fresh lime juice evenly over them.
  3. Cover the crockpot and set to low, cooking for 6 to 8 hours.
  4. Check the chicken's progress 30 minutes before the cooking time ends. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  5. Shred the chicken in the crockpot or remove and slice it. Serve with tortillas, cilantro, and sour cream or Greek yogurt.

Notes

Marinate overnight for deeper flavor. Substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh for a plant-based option. Adjust chili powder for desired heat level.
