Expert Tips

If you need dinner to be done faster, you can use the High heat setting on the slow cooker and cook the chicken for about 4 hours instead.

Use the shredded chicken as a burrito or taco filler instead of serving over rice.

This is my new favorite food! It's good on rice, but it also makes a pretty good chip dip. I've made it with chicken and with ground turkey and both were equally good. If you are going to use a ground meat I'd suggest cooking the meat first so you don't end up with all the grease. It also heats up really well if you can manage to have leftovers.
