Slow Cooker Chipotle Peach BBQ Chicken - The Lemon Bowl

Thank you ALL so much for your sweet comments in response to The Lemon Bowl’s new look and design. I’m thrilled you are loving the new features and find the clean design easier to navigate. That makes me very, very happy.

Crock Pot with Chicken, Onions and Peaches - The Lemon BowlAs a thank you, I’m presenting you with yet another slow cooker chicken recipe. Because let’s be real, we can always use one more, am I right? Sweet, smoky, spicy and tangy, you are going to love this 5 ingredient slow cooker bbq chicken recipe made with chipotle peppers and juicy peaches.

Peach Picking - The Lemon BowlEven though we won’t be picking peaches again until next summer, we keep frozen fruit in our freezer all winter long. Frozen fruits and vegetables are picked at the height of their freshness which means maximum nutrition for you and your family all year.

Bee Friendlier - The Lemon BowlOf course, year round access to high quality frozen fruit is something we all take for granted. The truth is, right now honey bees are at a risk of extinction which has a major impact on fruits and nuts including peaches, blueberries, apples, almonds and more. In fact, bees are responsible for one in every three bites of food we eat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To help raise awareness and encourage simple actions, Cascadian Farm has launched the #BeeFriendlier campaign. Check out this amazing video where they bomb a field with 1 million wild flowers to help save the bees. It’s pretty inspiring and I can’t wait to plant wild flowers with my boys.

  1. What kind of beer would you recommend for this? I’m thinking a smokey porter would be good with the bbq flavor, but would you recommend something lighter?

  3. I’m far more creative with hamburgers than barbecue, but this gives me great ideas. I’ll try it the way you have it first, of course! The peaches and beer must give it such flavor.

  4. This looks amazing. The slow cooker bbq pulled chicken sure gives out a wonderful flavor. And I really love the addition of peaches in order to balance flavors.

  13. This sounds absolutely yummy, including Ali’s BBQ sauce. I found a recipe that I like for BBQ sauce but I’m going to have to try this one, too. This chicken would make a wonderful lunch (not big on sandwiches for dinner, usually).
