This is my second time making it. It's in the crockpot now!! I'm a single mom of a teen and tween boys and they LOVE it as a chicken sandwich. (they also like it by the spoonful out of the crock. This time I finely chopped some sun-dried tomato and will stir in some chopped up spinach a little bit before serving. It is SO yum and so easy to adapt to your family's favorite add ins. Thank you!

This turned out fantastic! I served this over spicy Thia noodles. The spicy noodles with the flavors of the chicken was a perfect blend. I added red onions to the chicken and scallions to the noodles. Will be having it again. So easy to make. Awesome sauce!

Just another way to use this chicken... I make enchilads out of it and they are amazing!

PS...the REAL bacon pieces from Sam's is a quick fix to cooking bacon.  They are real and do not taste artificial!

I have made this a couple of times.  Used a can of green chilis the first time.  Did not have any this time, so I added Salsa Verde!  AMAZING!!!  Also, you can use the flavored cream cheese..the one with onion and chives, and it adds so much flavor!!  This recipe is a hit!!!

Made this tonight served it as a pasta dish and it was super amazing will definitely make this again!!
