HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER HONEY CHIPOTLE BBQ CHICKEN

First, add chicken breast to bottom of crockpot. Next add ⅔ of the honey chipotle bbq sauce bottle. Reserve the rest for after the chicken is cooked.

Next, add diced yellow onion and seasonings listed. Cover with lid, and cook on high for 2.5-3.5 hours or 4-5 hours on low.

Once chicken is cooked, turn temperature down to warm. Remove chicken from crockpot and shred chicken to desired consistency.

Then, place the chicken back in the crockpot and pour the remaining sauce over the top.

Top with shredded white cheese (mozzarella, monterray jack, or white cheddar).

Once it's ready, spoon it over diced potatoes, mashed potatoes, or rice - or pile it onto sandwiches and sliders.
