Ingredients

For the Honey Chipotle Chicken:

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 3 Tbsp chipotles in adobo* diced (I use the crushed chipotles in adobo - no dicing required!)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

For the tacos:

  • 10-12 tortillas we use a corn & whole wheat blend
  • sour cream
  • 1/2 cup grape tomatoes quartered
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • 2-3 green onions sliced
  • 1 large avocado chopped

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts in the bottom your slow cooker/crock-pot.
  • Place the chipotles, honey, garlic, Worcestershire, and black pepper into a bowl, and stir to mix well.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken and cook on low for 4 hours, or high for 2 hours.
  • Use two forks or a pair of tongs to shred the chicken right in the crock-pot OR remove chicken to the bowl of a stand mixer and shred using the paddle attachment on medium-low speed, then return to the crock-pot and mix with the liquid.
  • To assemble the tacos, warm your tortillas and then top with a smear of sour cream, shredded chicken, tomatoes, cilantro, green onions, and avocado.

Notes

*Add less chipotle if you are not into spicy food. Add more if you love it!
