BBQ Shredded Chicken - Slow Cooker BBQ Shredded Chicken - Slow Cooker
My recipe for slow cooker shredded BBQ chicken, using a homemade sauce. The thing I love about this, is that you control the ingredients for the BBQ sauce. If you like it sweeter, then increase the honey. If you like it tangier, then increase the vinegar. If you like it spicy, then add more hot sauce and some cayenne pepper. Don't leave out the liquid smoke though, it is essential for that classic BBQ taste. As is, this sauce has a little taste of everything. Christina -

Mexican-Style Shredded Chicken Mexican-Style Shredded Chicken
Use it for tacos, burritos, or whatever you'd like with this perfectly spiced, super tender shredded chicken.If you go with tacos, keep it simple. Garnish with diced onion, chopped Cilantro, a squirt of lime and just a few crumbles of good authentic Mexican queso cheese on top of a warm soft corn tortilla. Let the chicken shine through, it's awesome.I've got alot of pride in this recipe. It took a long, long time to get here but it's close to perfection.It freezes really well and can be reheated from frozen without much effort, so scale up the recipe and freeze it in a bunch of freezer bags so you can have it at the ready whenever you need.

Shredded Hawaiian Chicken - Crockpot Recipe Shredded Hawaiian Chicken - Crockpot Recipe
I wanted sweet, but tangy pulled chicken sandwiches for dinner, but couldn't find a recipe that really caught my eye. Once I picked pineapple as my base taste, I just started adding ingredients and tasting as I added them. The ingredient list seems long, but they're all items I normally have on hand, so after 5 minutes of prep work, the slow cooker does all the rest of the work. Serve this chicken over rice or quinoa or as sandwiches for a tasty meal. Christina -

Creamy White Chicken Chili - Slow Cooker Creamy White Chicken Chili - Slow Cooker
This is my version of white chicken chili. It is so hearty and comforting. For the beans, I use either cannellini beans or great northern...or a combination of the two. You can also do this without the cream cheese, but I love the additional creaminess and tangy flavor it provides. Load this up with your favorite toppings (I like crushed tortilla chips, shredded Colby Jack cheese and diced avocado) and have some cornbread ready on the side. Christina
