Instructions

Add all the ingredients except the cilantro to the Crock Pot and toss around to evenly coat the chicken.
Top with lid and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-6 hours or until chicken is tender enough to shred.
Shred with two forks, toss around in juices, and stir in the cilantro.
Use shredded chicken for tacos, quesadillas, bowls, you name it!
