05 Step

06 Step
Recipe View
Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Stir the shredded chicken into the sauce to combine thoroughly. (5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Serve hot over your choice of rice, pasta, or use as a flavorful filling for tacos or burritos. Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream, if desired. (5 minutes)
For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken breasts in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This adds an extra layer of depth to the dish.
Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to your spice preference. Start with less and add more to taste.
If you don't have cream of chicken soup, you can substitute with a homemade cream sauce or a can of cream of mushroom soup.
To thicken the sauce further, remove about 1/2 cup of the sauce from the slow cooker in the last 30 minutes of cooking, mix it with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and then return it to the slow cooker. Stir well and let it cook until thickened.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Dec 19, 2023I found the sauce to be a little too thick, so I added a splash more chicken broth. It thinned it out perfectly. Next time, I might also try using Mexican crema instead of sour cream for garnish.
