Shredded Chicken that tastes like Cafe Rio Sweet Pork

My husband and I use this a lot in our cooking. We like to use it when we make a mock Cafe Rio salad, burritos, etc. It's also good in enchiladas, just a great standard. It's got a really strong sweet flavor, so it's not really kid-friendly.
Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts, boiled and shredded
1/4 cup honey
just under 1/4 cup lime juice
1 TB chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 Gallon-sized plastic bag

1. Mix honey, lime juice, chili powder, and garlic salt (I usually mix them in my liquid measuring cup).
2. Put shredded chicken in plastic bag.
3. Add marinade to plastic bag with the chicken.
4. Put in fridge and let marinade for at least half an hour (1 day is better).
5. When you're ready to eat it (if you're having it in a salad or burrito...anything you don't bake, don't do this for enchiladas), put it on a greased skillet and heat it up, you can even make it crispy if you want.
6. Decide how you want it and ENJOY!
