3. Pour 1 cup of water into the slow cooker.
4. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, or until chicken is cooked through.
5. Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred with two forks, discarding bones and skin.
6. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine shredded chicken with 1 cup apple juice, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1/2 cup tomato paste, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
7. For a mild spice level, add 2 tablespoons of chipotle pepper sauce (from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce). For a spicier dish, add up to 4 tablespoons of sauce or puree 1-2 chipotle peppers with some of their adobo sauce and incorporate into the mixture. Reduce tomato paste accordingly for spicier versions.
8. Add more adobo seasoning to taste (start with 1 tablespoon and add more as needed).
9. Stir well to combine and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the juices are absorbed.
10. Serve in warm tortillas with cooked rice and your favorite toppings.
