This slow cooker Honey Chipotle chicken is perfect when you want to prepare taco stuffing ahead of time with minimal effort. Chicken is slow-cooked for hours in a delicious Mexican sauce, so it is juicy and tender. A perfect dump and forget kind of dish. Tacos are so easy to make and one of our favorites. But every time we craved for Tacos, Chili’s was our goto place. I really don’t know, what was stopping me from making Tacos at home. They are the easiest dinner one can make. All you need is your favorite taco shell, stuffing ( chicken, fish, mushrooms… the options are endless) and some toppings. It is ready in 15 minutes if you have prepped your toppings. Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce makes the chicken real Mexican. This sauce is the star ingredient in this recipe. The spicy and smoky sauce is balanced with honey.
Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos
The Chicken Stuffing itself has so much complex flavor, that kept the toppings simple. I Just added chopped onions, bell peppers, and fresh cilantro. The chicken was juicy and moist, so I didn’t feel the need for any extra dressing. If you like, you can add any of your favorite sauce on the top. The sauce is smoky, rustic, and has a great depth of flavor. This sauce can be added to a lot of things. Make a salad dressing, Barbeque glaze, Soups dips, or toss it with some rice. As a point of caution let me tell you, this sauce is really addictive. So always keep a couple of canes handy. I ordered mine from here. After using half in this recipe, the rest of the peppers I ground to a paste, transferred to ice trays. This is for the first time I tried this freezing method, after reading from here. I will let you know how it tastes when I use them next time. After making tacos, I still had some chicken left. I made a Mexican rice bowl, with Rice, Slow-cooked Honey-Chipotle Chicken, Onion, Peppers, Avocados. It was just fabulous. So What are you waiting for??? Make a big batch of this and have a stress free week.
