“Chicken breasts can get a bit dry and tough if they’re overcooked. If your slow cooker tends to cook dishes fast, check this moist and tender chicken a little earlier.” Cittie — Tasteofhome.com Community

This was OK; the chicken was over 200 degrees after 3 hours...I should have checked it sooner. I was a little disappointed with the flavor...just wasn't what I was expecting.

I had to leave out the peppers, because my husband doesn't like spicy food, but it was still wonderful.

Really a 4 1/2 star recipe. Do be VERY careful about the time you leave the chicken in... It really only took 3 1/2 hours on low in my crockpot.

Chipotle peppers are found in the Mexican food section of your grocery store. They are in a can. This recipe is wonderful! A perfect blend of sweet and spicy.

I didn't like the flavors. I love anything chipotle, but this just didn't deliver.
