Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 T or to taste chipotle puree

Method
 

  1. Place half the chicken in a small (1-2 qt.) slow cooker.
  2. Dot the chipotle puree over it - spread it around if you like.
  3. Add the rest of the chicken.
  4. Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours.
  5. At the end of the cooking time, take 2 forks and shred the meat. Stir it around in the liquid, and let rest five minutes to reabsorb juices and seasoning for a moist meat.

Notes

This is written for a very small slow cooker. In a larger one I would recommend doubling, or even tripling the recipe, and adding 30 minutes to an hour of cooking time, to allow for the longer time the slow cooker takes to come to cooking temperature.
