Step-by-Step Instructions

In a 6-8 quart crockpot, pour in a can of Rotel, then drizzle with honey and add minced garlic. Stir gently to combine.
Layer sliced bell peppers and diced onion atop the Rotel mixture. Let the veggies bask in the rich tomato base for about 5 minutes.
Arrange the boneless skinless chicken breasts on top of the vegetables, then sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the chicken.
Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours. Aim for an internal temperature of 165°F.
Once cooking is complete, shred the chicken in the crockpot and mix it with the vegetables and sauce.
Scoop the mixture onto warm tortillas or over fresh greens. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice and allow for customization with toppings.
