This is the chicken mixture as a taco salad
I think I almost overcooked this one. Funny though when I first started cooking it, I forgot to plug it in!

August 28, 2013 at 8:39 amDo you think I can freeze the leftovers if I have too much left and use for a quick lunch later in the week?
Sidetracked Sarah says
August 29, 2013 at 1:08 amDefinitely! They'll be delicious later, too!

August 2, 2013 at 10:28 amDo you cut the chicken into pieces before putting it in the crock pot? Thanks!
Sidetracked Sarah says
August 5, 2013 at 8:39 amNo, I leave them whole and then shred them once their cooked.

April 6, 2013 at 7:40 amhad to look up " rotel"… I have to eat low sodium. Can I just throw in tomato purée and my own seasonings? Anything prepackaged is too high in sodium
Sidetracked Sarah says
April 6, 2013 at 9:02 amSure, the rotel gives it some spice because of the green chilies in it. I'd try it though!Sent from my iPad

Sidetracked Sarah says
August 30, 2012 at 9:48 amHi, Stephanie! No, I put it in raw….usually even frozen. They turn out perfect!

August 13, 2012 at 12:06 amBag of chicken? How big?
Sidetracked Sarah says
August 13, 2012 at 1:08 amI usually use a 3 pound bag of chicken breast. You can use the amount that your family would normally eat. Our family of 7 eating do fine with the 3 pounds and then we have leftovers. I hope that helps!
