Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken
The chicken comes out of the slow cooker tender and juicy with a nice deep color from the chili peppers. The heat in the chicken is slow and smoky. As you begin eating, you don’t really notice the spice, but as you keep eating, it begins to creep up on you like a smoldering fire. While we ate the chicken as is with a side of potatoes, I can see this recipe used as the base for chicken tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, etc.
