Notes
4-Ways To Serve Slow Cooker Chicken-
- Over rice- any kind of rice, quinoa, or couscous is great.
- Tacos- shred chicken and use in soft or crunchy tacos (this is my favorite).
- Quesadillas- shred chicken and add cheese and rice between 2 tortillas (this is my daughters favorite).
- Over potatoes- mashed potatoes, sweet or russet, both are delicious.
