Big on flavor and easy on the cook's time, this slow cooker chicken recipe is appealing. The sweet-hot sauce gets its heat from the chipotle pepper. I serve this dish with a side of rice to use up every delectable drop of the sauce. —Cittie, Tasteofhome.com Community

Our family really liked this. I will need to find another recipe that calls for the peppers in adobe sauce as the recipe calls for such a small around and it was the most costly item of the ingredients. I cut the chili powder down based on the reviews and ours still had a kick to it.

Ok, kind of bland. Probably wouldn't make it again.

To make this even more diabetic friendly, try using agave instead of the honey. Honey is not good for diabetics.

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.
