This post is the culmination of a three part series that began with DIY adobo seasoning, which was an ingredient in the raspberry chipotle sauce used in today’s delicious chicken recipe. I first tasted this dish at a church potluck and made it for my daughter and her family a few weeks later. We all loved it, and I’m looking forward to making it again soon, and the Man of Steel is looking forward to eating it.
Chicken with Raspberry Chipotle Sauce
2 grilled chicken breasts sliced into thin strips
1 batch low sugar raspberry chipotle sauce
1 red, yellow, or orange sweet bell pepper cut into thin strips
1 large onion, sliced into thick strips
Place grilled chicken strips in the bottom of a crock pot. Place peppers and onions on top of the chicken. Pour the raspberry chipotle sauce over all. Put lid on crock pot and cook on low for 4 hours.

Today’s recipe is the second in a series leading to a bang up main dish to be featured next Wednesday. The original recipe can be found at the Food Renegade website. I substituted the DIY adobo seasoning from last Wednesday’s post for the Swanson Organic Mexican adobo and upped the jalepeno peppers for more zing. The sauce goes together quickly and easily. It’s delicious on grilled meat or fish, as well as in next week’s main dish.
Low-Sugar Raspberry Chipotle Sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 jalepeño pepper, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 cups of fresh or frozen raspberries
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons DIY adobo seasoning
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add minced jalepeño peppers and cook until caramelized. Slowly add apple cider vinegar and stir gently, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen the browned jalepeño bits. Add raspberries, honey, and adobo seasoning.
Cook down until sauce forms, stirring regularly. Lower the heat and simmer until reduced to desired thickness. Remove chipotle sauce from heat and pour into jar or bowl. Allow to cool before serving.
