We are so happy you are here. There are many, many recipes here that will help you prepare meals you and your family will love. Here are a few recipes to get your browsing started: Slow Cooker Pork Loin and Vegetables, Slow Cooker Baked Beans, Easy Chicken Noodle Soup, and Copycat Cafe Rio Sweet Pork Burrito.

Chicken is super easy to boil or bake. Either way works well for this recipe. Just bake or boil the chicken (or cook it in the Crockpot, if desired) and then, shred it. I will usually boil the chicken for this recipe. Just don’t let the chicken become dried out, however you decide to cook it.

I also love to buy Rotisserie chicken that has already been removed from the bones and sold in all breast meat packages. Costco sells it this way and it is fabulous!

In the recipe below, I have stated 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of chicken. Since it is difficult to find chicken breasts that are exactly 1 1/2 pounds, somewhere between 1 1/2 and 2 pounds will work fine.

We hope you enjoy this very easy dinner recipe. We would love to hear what you love about it! 😊
