1
Place onion, carrots and garlic in the bottom of your crockpot.
2
Lay chicken breasts on top and season with salt and pepper.
3
In a small bowl mix together stock, chipotle, BBQ sauce, cumin, paprika and lime juice.
4
Gently pour over chicken and throw in the bay leaves.
5
Put the lid on.
6
Cook on low heat for 4-5 hours or until chicken is cooked through.
7
I actually took a spoon and basted the top of the chicken once or twice with the sauce.
8
I also turned the chicken over about 3 hours into cooking time.
9
Once chicken is cooked remove it to a plate and let it cool.
10
Strain sauce into a saucepan, bring to a simmer and cook over medium heat until reduced by half.
11
Remove 1/4 cup of sauce and reserve it.
12
Shred chicken and stir it into the remaining sauce.
13
Use the reserved sauce to stir into a bowl of your favorite BBQ sauce to desired consistency.
14
It adds great flavor and a hint of heat.
15
Cut buns in half and drizzle insides with olive oil; toast in a hot skillet until golden brown.
16
Pile on some chicken, drizzle on some of the additional BBQ sauce and top with some creamy coleslaw.
17
Fabulous!
18
Note: As for the chipotle puree, I open up a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and puree it in my food processor.
19
I always keep some in a covered glass dish in the fridge.
20
Always ...
21
I use it all the time.
