When is the fiesta in our household? Tonight. Or, every night since these are so delicious. Tangy and hot chipotle sauce and green verde salsa on shredded chicken that has been broiled at the end for crispy perfection.
Cue the salsa music.
Cue the salsa music.
Who said crock pot meals can't be gourmet? This is mouth watering goodness. You can add the chicken to tacos, or even make a burrito bowl with it. Possibilities are endless. This is a staple.
Let the fiesta festivities begin!
Serves 4. Grab your crock pot.
Ingredients:
1.5 pounds of chicken breast or chicken thighs (seriously delicious)
1/2 cup cilantro
1/2 red onion
2 limes, wedges
2 cloves of garlic
1/4 cup lime juice
3/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup chipotle sauce
1 T. oregano
1 T. chili powder
1 T. cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
12 flour tortillas
Sour cream, aalsa and jalapenos for garnish
Place the chicken in the slow cooker along with the mixture of the orange juice, lime juice, chipotle sauce, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper and cook on low until tender, about 6-8 hours. Easy enough.
OH MY. Does this smell amazing. Every neighbor will wish they were over for dinner.
Shred the chicken, mix in 1/4 cup of the juices (do not forget this part), spread it out in a single layer on a baking sheet, add a little more chipotle sauce and verde salsa, and broil until it starts getting crispy, about 5 minutes.
Mix in 1/4 cup of the juices, mix everything up and broil for another 5 minutes before mixing in another 1/4 cup of the juices.
Assemble the chicken on the tortillas, along with the onions, cilantro, a few jalepenos and serve with the lime wedges, for a grand end.
Allow your mouth to experience the full tasty spices. Enjoy.
Think. Create. And grab a spoon.
Love, Alice
