Directions
Blend the honey, garlic, and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce until you get a smooth sauce. Put the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and pour the honey-chipotle mixture over them, making sure they’re nicely coated. Set the slow cooker to Low and let it cook for about 5 hours. Once the chicken is tender, take it out and shred it with two forks. Toss the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker, add the black beans, and give everything a good stir. Let it cook on Low for another 30 minutes or so, until everything is heated through and the flavors have melded together.
Serving Ideas For Every Meal
Serve alongside a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables to add brightness and texture. It also pairs well with rice or warm tortillas for a more filling meal.
Storing This Dish
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or on the stovetop to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
