Instructions

First, add chicken breasts to a medium pot and season with kosher salt & black pepper. Cover with at least 1" of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover with a lid, reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes (depending on the thickness of the chicken), until internal temperature reaches 165F.

Transfer the cooked chicken to a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer and shred it. Alternatively, you can use 2 forks to shred it, but I like the mixer method because it's quicker!
In another large bowl, add the greek yogurt, lime juice, honey and spices. Whisk until combined. Then, add in the shredded chicken and remaining ingredients. Stir until combined. Taste and adjust the amount of salt & pepper as needed.
