What kind of dishes can you use shredded. Chicken in? I can only think of tacos.

@pintobean8935 5 жыл бұрын

Anything. Burrito, salads, wraps, tacos, mix it with eggs, pita pockets, sandwiches etc.. You don't have to shred the chicken either in the above recipes. Just keep it whole or dice it.

Cory Lynn it’s everything you might put in a burrito without the tortilla. Cheese ,rice , beans , chicken , tomatoes , salsa , sour cream , green onions , cilantro .. whatever you like.

Out flippin standing, I have incorporated all these into my cooking rotation. All are excellent for meal preps and large group pleasing dishes. I am forever tweaking the bbq mix depending on desired sweetness or smokiness. I use the mexican chicken as the chicken for tortilla soup! Your seasonings work great for grilling and some fish dishes!

@hornedsaviour Ай бұрын

Big tip: If cooking on low, cook it for 5 hours, shred it, toss it in whatever sauce/juice you've got in the slow cooker, and let it sit for another hour on Low before storing it/bagging it. It greatly helps with getting that flavor deeply penetrated into the shredded chicken. I learned this when making Italian beef, and trust me, it's a day and night difference in flavor, there is no other way to do it.
