Notes
- If you want to use frozen chicken breasts thaw them completely before putting them in the slow cooker.
- When shredding the chicken, using two forks works best. It is so tender it doesn't take much to shred it.
- Get creative with your toppings! I love adding a slice of crispy bacon or some pickled jalapenos to my sandwiches for extra flavor and texture.
