Begin by placing 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the bottom of your crockpot. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped), 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
Stir the mixture until well combined. Pour the chipotle-lime mixture over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Add 1 cup of diced bell peppers (any color) and 1 cup of corn (fresh or frozen) on top of the chicken.
Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours. Once the cooking time is complete, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks, mixing it with the juices and vegetables.
For the avocado-cilantro cream, blend together 1 ripe avocado, 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Serve the chipotle-lime chicken in bowls, drizzled with the avocado-cilantro cream and garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious meal!
