I haven’t tried it, but you could probably use some chipotle chile POWDER instead, and just add in a little tiny (!!) bit at a time. That way you’d get the smokiness from the chipotle, but without all the heat. And if you wanted yours spicier but your family’s milder, just add more powder to your meat/cream once you dish it up.

(And it wasn’t until *after* I’d typed up my whole response I realized this was such an old post! Hope it’s still helpful, though!)

Hello again!
I’m the same Sandi from Sept. 7. Wanted to share that I made this again last night. My family absolutely loved it.
What I wanted to share is that I was able to make this on top of the stove. I forgot to get things in the crock pot early enough so I quickly browned chicken breasts in a bit of olive oil, then added the lime juice, cilantro and chipotles. I simmered for a couple of hours and shredded the chicken.
I sauteed the red peppers and onions in a skillet by themselves and we just added them to our individual tacos. It was amazing!

Just made this! It is the tastiest tastiest meal I have made in quite a while! I added a bit of cumin to both the chicken and the chipotle cream. It was delish. Thanks!

I usually shred my chicken right in the juices so it soaks everything up. Makes nice, juicy tacos! But I bet that would be a great base for a soup!

Made these for dinner tonight. Big hit! They were so easy and delicious. Now I have a question: After removing the chicken from the crock pot, I have lots of yummy veggies/liquid left in the crock pot. I can’t throw that out! Am thinking of using this delicious broth to make chicken tortilla soup by adding back the leftover shredded chicken. Any suggestions?

Chipotle peppers are just jalapeno peppers that have been smoked. It takes a bit of the heat away but gives it a smoky flavor! Probably a bit spicier than poblano, but they have a totally different taste so using poblano will probably change the taste of the recipe

Just made this and loved it! The one change I will make the next time is not to add the water to the crockpot- between the lime juice and the liquid released by the onion and pepper there was no need for it.
