    1. Use the Chipotle Flavor Bomb to cook your chicken as desired. Shred it up and let it soak in all that saucy goodness.

    2. Stovetop: Place 2–4 lbs chicken in a pot with 6–8 cups water and 1 Chipotle Luv Bomb. Bring to a boil, then simmer 25–40 minutes (until fully cooked and tender).

    3. Slow Cooker: Add chicken, water, and 1 Chipotle Luv Bomb to the slow cooker. Cook on LOW 6–8 hours or HIGH 3–4 hours.

    4. Pressure Cooker: Add chicken, water, and 1 Chipotle Luv Bomb. Cook on HIGH pressure 12–15 minutes, then quick-release or natural release for 5 minutes.
