Easy Crockpot Shredded Chicken

Serves: 6

This great recipe is so good to use in so many recipes. Make tacos, BBQ chicken sandwiches, enchiladas, with mashed potatoes and gravy, on salads - the list goes on and on.
Here is a tip to save fingers: Use your stand mixer with the paddle attachment to quickly shred the chicken.

Dovetailing Tip: Make a large pot of shredded chicken and use throughout the week. Remove 1 ½ cups for today’s meal, 1 1/2 cups chicken to use for Meal 3, Chicken Quesadilla’s and 2 cups for Meal 5, Avocado Chicken Salad. If you have leftovers, freeze it in recipe size portions.
