Slow Cooker Honey Chipotle Chicken Tacos from Chelsea’s Messy Apron are delicious and made so easy with the slow cooker. The chicken cooks first in the slow cooker for 4-6 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. Once the chicken is completely cooked, and it shreds easily with two forks, you can mix it with the sweet chipotle sauce and let the party begin! Yum!
Instant Pot Chipotle Chicken Taco Meat from Bless This Mess has just six simple ingredients, packs a ton of flavor, and takes just 25 minutes in the Instant Pot from start to finish. Melissa says “I prefer to use boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe because I think they stay more tender and moist. It did work great with chicken breast too, though, so use what you have on hand.” She has also included directions for the slow cooker if you prefer to use that method of cooking.
Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken Tacos from Kiss My Whisk start with homemade chipotle sauce which might take a little more effort but the results are well worth it!

June 18, 2013 at 2:45 amI made this recipe this past weekend – we loved it! Went a little heavier on the chipotle because we love the heat. Served it with guacamole, tomatillo salsa and a Bobby Flay Mexican slaw recipe. This is a keeper!
