I know I’m not the only one who wishes there were more hours in a day. Work, kids, appointments, working out, sleeping, and oh yeah eating… there is so many things to squeeze into 24 hours. If there was a kitchen super hero it would be a slow cooker/crockpot. It’s so nice to be able to throw something in there and it be ready when you get home from work. This slow cooker shredded chicken is a staple in my household, it’s so versatile and easy.
It is all in the spice blend. This recipe started with me randomly throwing different spices I had in the cabinet and it really started to elevate the different dishes I would include it in. I use this recipe in fajitas, enchiladas, bowls, meal prepping, etc. It’s definitely a recipe, that should become a staple in your kitchen.
