Chipotle Slow Cooker Chicken

"Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken is one of my go-to recipes when life’s busy, but I still want something bold and satisfying on the table. The hands-off cooking makes it perfect for weeknights or meal prep. I’ve made this for everything from taco night to loaded rice bowls, and it never disappoints. Just toss everything in the slow cooker, let it simmer low and slow, and come back to a kitchen that smells amazing. I love this slow cooker recipe because it’s a quick and easy, one-pot method for making delicious chicken. This Chipotle chicken in a slow cooker recipe is perfect to add to an easy dinner recipe stash. The combination of chipotle peppers in adobo, chipotle powder, cumin, and honey creates a complex, irresistible blend of smoky, spicy, and sweet heat. It requires less than 10 minutes of hands-on prep time, and the slow cooker does the rest, resulting in perfectly tender, flavorful, shreddable chicken. The final product is a protein that you can use in tacos, bowls, sandwiches, salads, and more (see Use Leftovers). It makes 6 servings and you can be easily double or triple, freezing beautifully for future weeknight dinners."
