Notes

  • We like to use Herdez Chipotle Sauce
  • You can double the amount of chicken (and not add more sauce) to feed more people.
To turn this into a freezer meal:
Add chicken and sauce to a gallon-sized freezer bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal bag closed. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last 60-90 days. When ready to use, dump ingredients from bag into slow cooker. Place the lid on top and cook for 7-8 hours on low (4-5 hours on high). Remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred, then follow the instructions as written.
