How Long To Cook

Crock Pot Chipotle Chicken only needs about about 4 hours on LOW in the crock pot, but crock pot cooking times vary a lot so go with what you know about your crock pot. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 F. Note: I don’t recommend cooking boneless chicken breasts on HIGH in a slow cooker. They are too likely to get overcooked and dry and tough in texture.

Can I use Chicken Thighs?

Yes! You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They will take slightly longer then breasts to cook.

How To Store

Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days or they can be frozen for up to 3 months.
