Description
This sounds like an odd combination of ingredients, but it is very yummy! The chipotle peppers give the chicken a nice smoky, spicy flavor, and the apple juice makes it just a tad bit sweet. You can adjust the heat easily, from mild to spicy. My mild recipe is just perfect for my irish-german husband 🙂
