Ingredients You’ll Need
- 3 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar - Adds tanginess and brightness, balancing the smoky heat of the chipotle and cutting through the richness of the chicken.
- 1 Chile in Adobo Sauce - Brings deep smoky heat and rich, earthy flavor. The adobo sauce adds a savory, slightly sweet, and tangy undertone.
- 6 Garlic Cloves - Infuses the chicken with bold, aromatic flavor that enhances the overall depth of the dish.
- 1 TBSP Ground Cumin - Adds warm, earthy notes and a hint of smokiness, complementing the chipotle.
- 2 tsp Oregano - Provides an herby, slightly floral flavor that balances the spices and enhances the Mexican-inspired profile.
- 1.5 tsp Salt - Essential for seasoning, it enhances and rounds out all the flavors.
- 1 TBSP Red Chili Powder - Contributes mild heat, vibrant color, and a layered chili flavor to the sauce.
- 1/4 tsp Ground Cloves - A subtle spice that adds warmth and a hint of sweetness, deepening the complexity of the dish.
- 1 Cup Water - Provides liquid for slow cooking, helping the chicken stay moist and tender while carrying the flavors of the spices.
- 1 Pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs - The main protein; thighs stay juicy and shred beautifully after slow cooking, perfect for tacos.
- 2 TBSP Lime Juice - Squeezed in at the end for a fresh, citrusy brightness that lifts and balances the smoky, spicy flavors.
Is Chipotle Chicken Spicy?
This Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken Recipe does have some spice to it, but it’s not burn-your-tastebuds-off spicy. It has a nice heat to it without being too intense.
If you’re afraid that it will be too spicy for your liking, try serving it with some tortillas or over some brown rice to help subdue some of the heat.
How To Make Crockpot Chipotle Chicken Tacos
- Blend. In a small blender jar, blend together vinegar, chipotle chili, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, chile powder, ground cloves, and water.
- Combine. In the slow cooker , combine the chicken thighs and the blended ingredients.
- Cook. Cook in the slow cooker for 6 hours on low.
- Shred And Serve. Remove the chicken thighs to a cutting board . Using two forks, shred the chicken. Add it back to the slow cooker . Stir in lime juice and serve alone or on tortillas for tacos.
Tips And Tricks
Making slow cooker chipotle chicken tacos is wonderfully easy, but a few tips and tricks can help you maximize flavor and achieve perfectly tender, juicy chicken every time:
- Doubling. I wrote this for 1 pound of meat because many of us can’t finish several pounds of meat at once. But you can always double or triple the recipe. Just leave the water to 1 cup if you double the recipe.
- Freezing. You can freeze the leftovers along with some of the cooking liquid to keep it moist when defrosting.
- Pressure Cooker. To make this in the pressure cooker , reduce water to 1/4 cup. Cook at high pressure for 10 minutes, and allow the pot to rest undisturbed for 10 minutes. Then, release all remaining pressure.
Variations
Slow cooker chipotle chicken tacos are already full of smoky, bold flavor, but you can easily switch things up to suit different tastes and occasions. Here are some tasty variations to try:
- Extra Smoky - Add a touch of smoked paprika or fire-roasted tomatoes for deeper flavor.
- Sweet & Spicy - Stir in a bit of honey, brown sugar, or pineapple juice to balance the chipotle heat with sweetness.
- Creamy Chipotle - Mix in a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt (or vegan alternatives) after shredding the chicken for a creamy sauce.
- Veggie Boost - Add bell peppers, onions, or corn into the slow cooker for extra texture and flavor.
What To Eat With Chipotle Chicken
Chipotle chicken tacos are smoky, spicy, and full of flavor, and pairing them with the right sides can turn them into a complete, satisfying meal. Here are some delicious options to serve alongside them:
- Salad - Use the cooking liquid as a dressing. You may choose to use romaine lettuce, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, chopped red onions, and cilantro.
- Tacos - Wrap in corn or four tortillas with chopped red onions and cilantro.
- Over Rice - Cook brown rice pot in pot in the same pot as the meat cooks.
- Cauliflower Rice - Keep things keto-friendly by serving this with some cauliflower rice.

How Long Does It Last?
Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days when stored in an airtight container.
Allow the chicken to cool completely before refrigerating to prevent excess moisture buildup, which can make the sauce watery.
Can You Freeze It?
If you want to extend its shelf life, you can freeze it for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container or resealable bag.
When you’re ready to enjoy it, thaw the chicken in the refrigerator overnight and reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
