Recipe Tips

  • Can I prep this the night before? Absolutely. Assemble everything in the crock pot insert, refrigerate overnight, then start cooking in the morning.
  • How to tell if chicken is done: The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F and shred easily with a fork.
  • Can I use frozen chicken? It’s best to use thawed chicken for even cooking, but you can use frozen—just adjust the cook time slightly.
