Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs or breasts Use boneless for easier cooking.
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle chicken seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil (optional for grilling)

Method
 

Cooking Method
  1. Slow Cooker Method: Place the chicken in the pot and rub it generously with both chipotle chicken seasoning and adobo sauce. Add a splash of water for moisture. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  2. Grilling Method: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Rub the chicken with olive oil and the seasoning mixture. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
  3. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to ensure juiciness.
  4. Get creative! Serve in tacos, burrito bowls, or on a plate with your favorite toppings.

Notes

To maintain freshness, store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2-3 months. Reheat with a bit of broth to maintain moisture.
