this is so yummy and so easy it's almost ridiculous. i make it to put in all kinds of things now - burritos, tacos, enchiladas, salads - the sky is the limit. the 2 year old loves it too!
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 (14 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, undrained
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (i use 1/4 teaspoon)
coat the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray. place all ingredients in the crockpot. cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 8-10 hours, or until chicken shreds very easily with a fork. season to taste with salt and pepper. (chicken will absorb liquid after it is shredded.) serve in tacos or however your little heart desires.
another note from mel:
*freezable meal: i freeze the leftovers in a freezer-safe container and let thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving the next day. i reheat over medium-low heat in a saucepan on the stove.
Hey-can you tell me how you freeze the stuffed chicken, spinach shells from your post partum freezer post. Also-could you continue to put sidenotes if the meal can freeze well and how you freeze it. :)
ReplyDeleteI will second that they are amazing! These made a very happy husband.
ReplyDeleteWe had this last night and it was great. It was so easy, my kind of cooking. :) I think next time I will add some cooked rice, or maybe just add the rice to the slow cooker. :)
