Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken and Black Beans
15 mins prepServes 4
This recipe from @nytcooking is one of my favorite easy meals! I love prepping for a week of lunches or a quick weeknight dinner. I typically serve the chicken in corn tortillas or a rice bowl with avocado, pickled onions, and cilantro!
Step 1: Combine the chicken, honey, onion and garlic powders, cumin, salt and chipotle chiles and adobo sauce in a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker. Stir well. Cook for at least 3 hours and up to 5 hours on low. If it’s more convenient, you can let the slow cooker switch to warm after 5 hours. The dish will hold on warm for about another 3 hours before the chicken starts to become quite dry.
Step 2: Using two forks, coarsely shred the chicken in the sauce. Stir in the black beans and lime juice. Cover and let the beans warm through, about 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt or lime juice if necessary. Serve in tortillas with pickled onion and avocado.
