Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts fully thawed before slow cooking
  • 1 cup mango diced
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo minced
  • 0.25 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin

Method
 

  1. Place the fully thawed chicken in the slow cooker.
  2. Stir together the mango, chipotle peppers, broth, lime juice, garlic, and cumin, then pour over the chicken.
  3. Cover; cook on low for 6 hours until tender. Thermometer-check the thickest pieces starting after 3 hours; thawed breasts may finish early. Stop when tender and 165°F.
  4. Shred the chicken and stir it into the smoky mango sauce.
  5. Serve in tortillas with avocado and fresh cilantro.

Notes

Start with one chipotle if your crew is sensitive to heat, then add more to taste.
Thaw chicken fully in the refrigerator before beginning. The listed time is a planning estimate; thickness and slow-cooker performance vary.
