Crock-Pot Chipotle Lime Chicken

Ingredients

Serves 6

1 ½ lbs / 680 gr skinless chicken breast, cut into 1½-inch chunks

½ cup tomato sauce (I used Muir Glen)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I used olive oil)

2 garlic cloves

2 tablespoons canned mild chopped green chiles (I used Old El Paso)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

3 tablespoons lime juice

¼ cup fresh cilantro (or parsley)

2 teaspoons granulated sweetener of choice (I used coconut sugar)

1 chipotle in adobo sauce (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Fresh chopped cilantro (or parsley) for garnish

Directions

Combine tomato sauce, garlic, green chiles, vinegar, lime juice, sweetener, cilantro, chipotle, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor (or blender) and pulse until smooth.

Grease the insert of your slow cooker and add chicken breast. Pour sauce over the chicken and cover with the lid.

Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro (or parsley) and serve.
