plates
Ingredients
- 2 cups yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup diced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- ½ cup red salsa, (fire-roasted if possible)
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Place the onions and garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Add the chicken breasts on top.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the diced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, red salsa, honey, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper and lime juice.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken, making sure to cover all the chicken. Cover and cook for 3-4 hours on high or 5-6 hours on low. Every 1-2 hours, either flip the chicken or spoon more sauce over the top.
- The chicken is ready when it falls apart very easily. Remove it form the slow cooker and shred with 2 forks. Return back to the slow cooker on the warm setting and mix the sauce into the chicken. Be sure to coat very well. Allow the chicken to absorb the sauce for 10-15 minutes.
- Serve over rice and beans and enjoy.
