Begin by placing 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the bottom of your crockpot. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of honey, the juice of 2 limes, 2 teaspoons of chipotle powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt until well combined.
Pour this mixture over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated. Add 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth to the crockpot for moisture.
Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the pineapple salsa by dicing 1 cup of fresh pineapple, 1/4 cup of red onion, and 1/4 cup of cilantro.
In a bowl, combine the diced ingredients with the juice of 1 lime and a pinch of salt. Once the chicken is cooked, shred it using two forks and mix it back into the sauce.
Serve the chicken warm, topped with the pineapple salsa and a sprinkle of extra cilantro for garnish.
Enjoy your flavorful and budget-friendly meal!
