Of all the recipes that I have made throughout the years, this is probably the one that I have made the most. Why? It is fast, I usually have the ingredients on hand, and my kids LOVE it! As I have written in another post, I like to fill my large crockpot with chicken breasts (when I get them on sale) and cook them all at once. I then shred or chop the chicken and bag it so that there will be chicken in the freezer ready to go! When I have the pre-cooked chicken, I can put this recipe together in minutes. It’s great to take to potlucks, too. Remember, I told you we go to a LOT of potlucks!
