Apple Chipotle Shredded Chicken

This sounds like an odd combination of ingredients, but it is very yummy! the chipotle peppers give the chicken a nice smoky, spicy flavor, and the apple juice makes it just a tad bit sweet. you can adjust the heat easily, from mild to spicy. my mild recipe is just perfect for my irish-german husband :)

Steps

Place chicken in crock pot , and sprinkle liberally with adobo seasoning.

Cover with water.

Cook chicken on low for 8 hours or overnight.

Shred and remove bones , skin , etc.

On the stovetop , add chicken with the rest of the ingredients.

For a mild spice , which is how i prepared it , use just 2 tbl of the sauce from the peppers.

To make it hotter , use more sauce and less tomato paste , or puree the peppers and use them as well.

Season with more adobo seasoning to taste.

Stir until blended and cook until juice is absorbed.

Serve on torillas with rice as a side.

Enjoy !.
