Notes
- Chicken doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. When the internal temperature reaches 165°F, you know it's ready to be shredded.
- Serve chicken: Serve crack chicken as a sandwich, a dip, or even over pasta for the perfect comfort meal.
- Make-ahead option: To prep this dish in advance, add all of the ingredients to the crockpot and refrigerate. Start the crockpot the morning you want to serve the dish!
