Four hours in the slow cooker makes this Slow Cooker Shredded Chipotle Chicken really easy to make and brings a great Chipotle flavor that can be used in burritos, pizza or Shredded Chicken Lettuce wraps.
Which of these hot sauces would you like the best?
All my friends and family (and most of my readers 🙂 ) know my deep love of spicy foods.
So one way to get my attention is to gift me with a set of lethal hot sauces! 🙂 Like this snazzy set.
I got this set for Christmas (thanks mom!), and I could hardly wait to put it to good use.
Knowing that most of you don’t like spicy quite as much as I do, I wanted to take these hot mamas down a notch so that they could be enjoyed by all.
This was primarily an experiment that turned out so amazingly good, that I wanted to share it with you.
Now, doesn’t that look some good? Ummm hmmm…I thought so. And easy peasy. Healthy too.
Chicken breast + fat burning hot sauce. Remember?…, we talked about that. All goodness.
As a bonus, it couldn’t be more simple to make – which means it keeps you out of the kitchen so that you can have more family time!
I’m all on board with more family time. Family time = good lovin’.
Do you know what the hardest part of this recipe was?
Deciding which hot sauce to use first!
And, for that, I just deferred to The Husband, who always has excellent taste! And, he quickly chose the Chipotle Hot Sauce. Smart man. Pretty cute too!
Don’t be surprised how easy and few ingredients this Slow Cooker Shredded Chipotle Chicken has.
That’s what makes it a winner, winner chicken dinner! 🙂
Enjoy!

I would find it hard to choose, but I think I’d use the Chipotle hot sauce first! This chicken looks awesome, and I love that you could serve it up as tacos, in rice bowls, you name it for a great weeknight dinner! Love it, and pinned! 🙂

I would probably go for the cayenne sauce. It’s so naughty! Have you thought of mixing them all? I know it sounds crazy but I like mixing 🙂

That’s a great idea Daniela! And no, I hadn’t thought of mixing, but I’m doing it next time!

Jess @ Flying on Jess Fuel says
I’d choose the jalapeno! But chipotle sounds pretty good too… especially on this PERFECTLY shredded chicken! Yum!

Thanks Jess! Honestly, it was a tough choice…I almost went for the jalapeno first too – so I am totally with you!
