Cooking Tips
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breast because it will be a lot easier to shred at the end.
- Try not to open the slow cooker until the time is up. Every time you open the crockpot, some heat escapes and this increases the cooking time. This goes for all slow cooker recipes.
- Add your tortilla chips on top as you're serving it, or they'll get soggy.
