Notes
- it’s easiest if you remove the chicken breast from the slow cooker to shred, but you can keep it in if you like—its all about preference. You can use two forks to shred the chicken or place in a KitchenAid Stand Mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, place on stir mode for 30 seconds.
- *Shredding Chicken - it’s easiest if you remove the chicken breast from the slow cooker to shred, but you can keep it in if you like—its all about preference.

- Frozen Chicken - It is not safe to place frozen chicken in the slow cooker/crock pot. The chicken must be thawed before cooking.
- Substitutions - For an additional layer of flavor you can use a can of enchilada sauce instead of tomato sauce. Use 1 tablespoon of homemade taco seasoning instead of a packet of taco seasoning for a cleaner healthier version.
