Tips and Tricks:
-
Customization: Feel free to adjust the spice levels according to your taste preferences. Add more chili powder for a spicier kick or reduce it for a milder version.
-
Make Ahead: You can prepare the chicken mixture in the crockpot the night before and refrigerate it. The next morning, simply turn on the crockpot and let it cook while you go about your day.
-
Freezing: This recipe freezes well, so consider making a larger batch and storing it in individual portions for quick and easy meals later on.
-
Serving Ideas: If you prefer a crunchier texture, add some coleslaw & pickles to your sandwiches. You can also serve the shredded chicken over a bed of greens for a salad option.
-
Meat Alternatives: If you prefer a different protein, such as ground turkey or beef, feel free to substitute it for the chicken in this recipe.
