For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken breasts in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This adds an extra layer of depth to the dish.
Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to your spice preference. Start with less and add more to taste.
If you don't have cream of chicken soup, you can substitute with a homemade cream sauce or a can of cream of mushroom soup.
To thicken the sauce further, remove about 1/2 cup of the sauce from the slow cooker in the last 30 minutes of cooking, mix it with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and then return it to the slow cooker. Stir well and let it cook until thickened.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

    The perfect weeknight meal! I prepped everything in the morning and just turned on the slow cooker before I left for work. Came home to a delicious dinner. Thank you!

  • Zelda Williamson

    I was a bit hesitant to use chipotle peppers, but this recipe convinced me! The smoky flavor is amazing, and it's so easy to make in the slow cooker. Definitely a new favorite!

  • Annabelle Daugherty

    Super easy to make and it tastes amazing! I served it over mashed sweet potatoes, and it was a delicious combination. Will definitely make again!

  • Hal Jones

    I found the sauce to be a little too thick, so I added a splash more chicken broth. It thinned it out perfectly. Next time, I might also try using Mexican crema instead of sour cream for garnish.

  • Triston Donnelly

    I added a can of black beans and some corn to the slow cooker, and it turned out fantastic! It made the dish even more hearty and filling. Thanks for the great recipe!

  • Marilou White
