For a richer flavor, consider searing the chicken breasts in the skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This will enhance the Maillard reaction and create a deeper, more complex taste profile. Adjust the number of chipotle peppers based on your preferred spice level. Remember that the adobo sauce also contributes to the heat. Serve with rice, black beans, a medley of grilled vegetables, and warm corn tortillas for a complete and satisfying meal. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a vibrant touch.
