[rtebalt]

Ingredients:
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped, with about 1 teaspoon of the sauce
1/3 cup sweet orange marmalade
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon oil
Dash pepper
Dash salt
4 boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water

Preparation:

Combine the chipotle with adobo sauce, marmalade, chili powder, garlic powder, vinegar, honey, chicken broth, and oil.
Wash chicken and pat dry; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken breasts in the slow cooker; pour marmalade mixer over all. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 7 hours, or until chicken is cooked through.

Put the chicken breasts on a plate; cover and keep warm. Pour the liquids into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes, until slightly reduced. Combine the cornstarch with cold water until smooth; stir into the sauce and continue cooking, stirring, for about 1 minute longer, or until thickened. Serve the chicken with the thickened sauce.
Serves 4.

The recipe can be doubled and cooked for the same amount of time.
