Notes

  • Add some extra flavor with a bay leaf or a sprig of thyme added to the slow cooker.
  • Serve over any mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
  • Use a slow cooker liner for faster clean up.
  • If short on time, you can use a store bought rotisserie chicken. Shred, add the remaining ingredients, and slow cook for half the time.
