Slow-Cooked Texas Chicken

Does it get any more Texas than combining chipotle peppers with Dr. Pepper??  It's a whole new awesome version of Tex-Mex! 

If you like heat, you've got to try this.  The chicken had a really nice flavor with some kick but the onions, oh man, the onions...  those really packed a punch!

INGREDIENTS:
1 large onion, quartered
5 large chicken breasts - can still be frozen
1 can (11 ounces) chipotle peppers in adobe sauce
1 bottle (16.9 fluid ounces) Dr. Pepper
1 tablespoon brown sugar


LETS COOK:
Lay the onion quarters in the bottom of the crock-pot.  Place the chicken breasts on top of the onions.  Add the remaining ingredients to the crock-pot.

Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours. 

Remove the chicken from the sauce and shred any large pieces that might still remain - but probably won't :)
