Crock Pot Chicken Sliders
Have you ever had the bottled Raspberry Chipotle Sauce?
YUMMM-O!!!
That sauce is down right addicting. Especially when it’s poured over cream cheese! Just give me a basket of crackers and that’ll be my dinner!
The first time I had it was when I moved down to Texas. Apparently, the northern states didn’t realize how good the stuff was so they weren’t selling it in grocery stores. But down south, it is a staple for parties!
The sauce has a sweet, fruity, spicy, smoky taste to it that is absolutely incredible!
Well, my friend Samantha hit the nail on the head when it comes to this sauce in her new COOKBOOK – Real Slow Cooker Suppers!
She basically makes the sauce from scratch with a few simple ingredients and lets it soak into some Chicken for 5 hours in the crock pot. Nothing is more glorious than throwing something into the Crock Pot for a couple of hours and having it turn into this phenomenal raspberry-chipotle flavored shredded chicken that you can put on slider buns, lettuce cups, or quinoa.
Basically the options are endless, all you need to do is make the chicken and then choose the vehicle you want to serve it on!
I am so proud of my friend Samantha, not only has she created an incredible cookbook filled with 80 delicious Slow Cooker recipes but she has taken all of the pictures in the book HERSELF. Here are a couple of the chapter titles, just to let you envision the deliciousness ahead of you. Dinner Time Classics, Soups On, Comforting Main Dishes, Stews Chilis & Chowders, Sandwiches Tacos & Wraps.The Honey Garlic Baby Back Ribs have me drooling! Ya’ll this cookbook is definitely a must have especially during school season, nothing is easier than making dinner in a crock pot! Just fill it up, turn it on, and viola dinner!
She even made an appearance on QVC and sold over 4000 cookbooks in like 8 minutes!
That is pretty awesome!
And guess what, her release date is here so now you can ORDER the cookbook online or pick it up in Barnes & Noble! Woot Woot!
If you’re looking for an easy to follow cookbook, using simple ingredients but healthy for your family this would be a great book. Or even a great stocking stuffer … hint hint!
Alright friends. Go order the book and then make this recipe … it’s a keeper!
Bon Appetit!

Ingredients
- 2 lb.s boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 1/2 cup raspberry jam or preserves
- 1 1/2 tablespoon chipotles in adobe sauce, plus more as needed
- 1 large jalapeno, minced, plus more as needed
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
- honey, as needed
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch plus 2 tablespoons of water
- 12 slider buns, for serving
- 8 oz. goat cheese
Instructions
- Place the chicken in the bottom of large crock pot. In a large bowl, add the raspberry jam, adobe sauce, jalapeno, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice. Mix together. Pour the jam mixture over the chicken. Cover the crock pot and cook on low fro 3-5 hours or until chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Turn off the crock pot, transfer the chicken to a plate and shred the chicken using two forks. Pour the raspberry chipotle sauce from the crock pot to a medium saucepan and transfer the chicken back to the crock pot. Season the chicken to taste with salt and pepper, and cover the crock pot to keep the chicken warm.
- Taste the raspberry chipotle sauce and decide if the flavors need adjusting. If you’d like it to be sweeter, add honey, if you’d like it to be spicer add more adobe sauce or jalapeno.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth and set aside. Place the saucepan of raspberry chipotle sauce over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Whisk the sauce continuously while slowly pouring in the cornstarch mixture. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring continuously, until the sauce is thick and glossy.

I was just curious where you got the adobe sauce? I spent forever in the store today looking for it! Is it adobe or adobo?
Hey Chelsea, Sorry if that was confusing. It’s minced chipotles in adobe sauce, they are found in the international aisle, near the mexican food where you’d find diced green chilis and such.
It’s first thing in the morning and I could seriously eat a bunch of these sliders. Cannot wait to give these a go! Adding them to my meal planning list now 😉
haha… I’m right there with ya girl! Looking at food early in the morning always makes me hungry for cookies, burgers, or cocktails. haha
It’s only 8 am, and I am DYING to have one of these already! Gorgeous, and such an incredible combination of flavors! That sauce truly does sound amazing, and combined with the goat cheese, absolutely unbeatable! Oh my, I’m pinning this for sure! Thanks for the great tip about Samantha’s cookbook, too – the combo of slow cooker and real food is definitely right up my alley!
Thank you so much Shelley! This is definitely a must try, the sauce is incredible and so is Samantha’s book. I hope you buy it! 🙂
Oh, Krista…these look AMAZING, and I’m so glad y’all enjoyed them! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe from my new cookbook…you’re the best! 🙂
NO… THANK YOU!!! Seriously amazing! We even had just the meat part the next day over a bed of quinoa and topped it with some veggies. It was still just as delicious!
Sliders are wonderful, and these look delicious!
Yes they are .. and even more perfect when you can make them in the Crock Pot!
Love this sweet & spicy combo! These little sliders would be perfect for game day. 🙂
