Slow Cooker Chicken and Chorizo Stew
Ingredients
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (7 ounce) can chipotle chile peppers in adobo sauce, chopped and seeded
  • 2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3/4 (1 pound) chorizo sausage
Instructions
1
Combine chicken, sautéed onion, tomato sauce, spicy chipotle chile peppers in adobo sauce, diced jalapeno peppers, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, chili powder, and red pepper flakes in a slow cooker.
2
Simmer the mixture on Low for approximately 2 to 3 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in its center.
3
Withdraw the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks; then return it to the slow cooker.
4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chorizo sausage until it is nicely browned and crumbly, taking about 5 to 10 minutes; discard the excess grease and stir in the cooked chorizo.
5
Combine the cooked chorizo with the chicken mixture and continue to cook on Low for an additional 45 minutes to 1 hour.
