Instructions
Step 1
Mince the garlic and mix in a large bowl with orange juice, lime juice, soy sauce, salt, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, black pepper, dried oregano, and honey until well combined.
Step 2
Add chicken thighs to the slow cooker. Pour the marinade over, stirring to coat evenly. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 4-5 hours, until tender. Shred the chicken lightly with two forks, leaving some chunks intact. Mix in raw diced white onions, chopped cilantro, and the juice of 2 limes.
Step 3
Blend chipotle peppers, tomato paste, oil, lime juice, and bone broth until smooth. Adjust seasoning with garlic powder, salt, onion powder, and cumin to taste.
Step 4
Combine rice and blended mixture in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed. Let sit for 5-10 minutes off heat, then fluff with a fork.
Step 5
Divide the rice into 10 equal servings and top with shredded street taco chicken. Serve and store leftovers in freezer-safe containers for meal prep.
