Honey and Lime Chicken Tacos

Sweet and sharp twist on a Mexican classic

Really easy dish to bung all in the slow cooker and forget about it. Just a small amount of prep and then serve it up with what you fancy (this can also require no cooking). The lime brings a sharpness that cuts through the sweetness of the honey which all gets soaked into the chicken.

I served mine with corn tortillas, homemade salsa, homemade guacamole and sour cream. I have included the homemade salsa and guac as bonus recipes at the bottom.
