SLOW COOKER SHREDDED OR PULLED CHICKEN
This comes from my well used slow cooker cook book called "The 150 best slow cooker recipes" by Judith Finlayson. I love this cook book and I have already shared a recipe or two from this book. The title in the book is shredded chicken but I call it pulled because that is how I get the meat off. :) Anyways, I love this recipe because you can use the chicken for anything you want like sandwiches, tacos, or even enchiladas. (Which by the way I found a great enchilada recipe by 'Hey Jude' recipe #56374, just in case :) )This is easy and fun to do, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
