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!

Do 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
Definitely! They'll be delicious later, too!
Kelly says
Do you cut the chicken into pieces before putting it in the crock pot? Thanks!
Sidetracked Sarah says
No, I leave them whole and then shred them once their cooked.
Valerie says
had 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
Sure, 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
How'd you like it?
stephanie says
do you cook the chicken first?
Sidetracked Sarah says
Hi, Stephanie! No, I put it in raw….usually even frozen. They turn out perfect!
Rhonda says
Bag of chicken? How big?
Sidetracked Sarah says
I 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!
