This is one of the best slow cooker recipes I've come across, and think that maybe some people didn't season the chicken like it says in the recipe, before you add it to the crockpot. My husband and I LOVE this dish and it is a regular for us. We like things a little spicy, so I add more chipotle, also double the veggies and the lime juice to make more of the sauce, which we love. If using chicken breasts, cut them into halves or thirds, depending on how big they are. I like to use a combination of breasts and boneless, skinless thighs. I think the coconut rice is a must to go together with everything. I don't recommend skipping the garnishes, as they add the flavor and texture that bring the whole dish together. This is a recipe I literally hand out to friends to try, and they all love it. I really don't know what some of these people did wrong to think it was so bland. I say try it, don't be afraid to adjust things to your own tastes, too.

Best slow cooker chicken recipe I have done, easy and tastes restaurant - quality browned 3.5 lbs of thighs & legs skin & bone in s&p & little flour for flavor, then marinated in lime juice for the rest of the prep. 1.5 cups of each of vgtables, 2.5 tbps of the adobos I love, 3 cloves, 1 can fire roasted diced tomatos instead of sauce, lime juice. Don't leave it on warm in the cooker long after 3-4 hours, changes the flavor too much. Good with the brown rice, and I like cucumber-based salad due to the spice. Too easy and delicious not to try but adobo is not for all, more for me then!

One of my favorite recipes from this site. I used bone-in skin-on chicken thighs, which I would highly recommend over the skinless variety. If you would like it to be healthier just remove the skin before eating, but I found it keeps the thighs nice and moist. The "peas" took a little longer than called for. It took me about 10-12 minutes for the rice to be fully done and the liquid to cook out. Other than that I followed the recipe very closely and it was a huge hit.

Yummo!!!! This was so good. My boyfriend is the chef. My food really never tastes good even though I try so hard. This dish was a HUGE hit! My boyfriend, children, and myself all raved over how good it was. I added more Adobe sauce than it calls for because I LOVE the heat! As well, I substituted brown rice to make it a healthier dish.

My family really enjoyed this chicken dish. The chipotle was just enough to flavor without being too spicy for my children. The rice was tasty and probably the first dish I have make with coconut milk that I could tell I used coconut milk. I used canned kidney beans instead of red beans. A few days later there was a fight in my house over who was going to eat the leftover rice.

My husband liked it; It was heavier on the Chipotle then recommended and still came out barely spicy. I don't think I would cook it for myself; it is after all a boiled chicken. If you like boiled chicken like my hubby, maybe it's for you. Go easy on tomato sauce because others noted that it took all other taste away if you use recommended doze. Good Luck!

Really good and very easy recipe. I forgot the lime juice and I didn't make the rice and peas. I'll try that next time and I won't forget the lime juice. My husband loved it!

I love this I have made the chicken part in the slow cooker about 4 times. The first time bland...second time I added way way to much chipotle. 3rd I cut up about half a can of the chipotle and perfection. Perfect for Freezing and reheating. I just serve over brown rice it is so good.
